This, unbelievably, from Simon Hoggart in the the Gruaniad!
Roberta (fetchingly played by Jenny Agutter in the film, and by Labour's junior transport spokesperson Maria Eagle in the modern version) would whip off her red pinny and go racing down the line to stop the 12.04 Newark to Lincoln flyer.
"Junior transport spokesperson"?
Maria is allegedly the Shadow Secretary of State.
She rose without trace.
