Nice one

I'm tempted to ask where that precise location falls within the NPAS 20 minute crayon circles,
and whether there would have been an aircraft overhead at all under NPAS, in the same circumstances ?

Great job though it was, our much respected and unbiased Daily Mail reporter also tells us .....

A spokesman for Northern Rail said the Sheffield to Bridlington service ‘was brought to a controlled stop as instructed by a Network Rail signal operator who was aware of the car on the track and alerted oncoming trains to it by bringing them to a standstill’.
But Chief Superintendent Colin Andrews disputed that version of events, saying it was the police action that saved the day.
