00:00So Gus, very special day. We've got the amazing Flying Scotsman behind you.
00:05The nameplate's been changed, the reopening train. Bit of a special event today.
00:10Oh, it's massively special, yeah. I can't put into words really how special it is.
00:13I mean, to be reopening the railway is one thing, but to be doing it in the Flying Scotsman just couldn't be better.
00:18So, yeah, it's just been an amazing day.
00:20How long's the Flying Scotsman here for?
00:22We've got it up until Monday, and then it'll be leaving us in the middle of next week.
00:27And I can't believe you've got the line open, you know, for the school holidays.
00:32I'm amazed. Are you amazed? Or did you always have that faith?
00:35Well, I'm an optimist by nature, and I always thought it could be possible.
00:39But the work that these guys have done down there, the civil contractors in particular, CML, they've just done an amazing job.
00:47And it's credit to them, and credit to the guys from Network now and the other companies to help them with the factory lane as well, to get it all done.
00:55And so our flying scotsman here, of course, is just the icing on the cake really.
00:58And the lads that have done the work on the track, will they be down there to kind of wave it as it comes by?
01:03Is that the plan on?
01:04Well, we've got a lot of them on the train today, so thank you for their efforts.
01:07Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:08But they will be back down there. The contractors are still working on site, tidying up down there and doing a few finishes off jobs, and they'll be there later today as well.
01:15Awesome.
