IT APPEARS the Flying Scotsman is costing the NRM millions of pounds.
Wrong, it is costing the taxpayer all this money -–and for what (The Press, April 30)?
The present locomotive reminds me of “Granny’s old broom that she had for 50 years and had only three new heads and six new handles”.
It seems the only genuine part of the original Flying Scotsman is the nameplate, and even that is dubious.
But then we have the NRM spokeswoman rambling on about archives and letters. What has that got to do with an old locomotive?
Stop spending our money on excuses for jobs, and cut your losses.
