I was told by an old friend and boss that if you didn't learn something new each day then you had wasted that day, so thanks Bruce , I've learnt something new.

Later on, at Lowbanks, the train's crew has sought refuge from the now hot overhead sun. Meanwhile, 918 simmers quietly, only the intermittent throb of her air pump breaking the noontime calm:
