Another two faux-pas for the BBC.
Over the weekend, following talk of the MML electrification, a series of shots was used to illustrate the MML at Sheffield.
The problem - Virtually all of the views from the one minute or so sequence were of Pacers coming and going from Sheffield station - we only got a couple of glimpses of Meridian stock sitting in the platforms.
Today- A BBC reporter has just been seen live at St Pancras station, saying that "he was standing where the Midland Main Line starts".
The problem - he was standing at the gateline to the South Eastern platforms, with Class 395s behind him- not a MML train in sight!
How many more times do we have to endure basic mistakes like this being made by the BBC?
