I think most here would have supported Queen’s coffin to have made the journey to London by train HAD it not been for scenes witnessed on the railway in previous years when certain classic steam locomotives have taken to the rails.

Stuving is absolutely right to highlight just how close the public were prepared to get to the motorcade on the A40 last evening…pretty darn close at some points. Fortunately, all passed without incident. It would have taken only one incident on the railway to have caused big problems, even a fatality. It was simply a risk that couldn’t be taken.

edited to add a missing word.
