I was just going to mention this... having just been watching News 24 myself for a little while - was very surprised to see her!

I assume this means she won't be on Spotlight tomorrow as it's a long journey to Plymouth from London - so if Justin is still off (as he has been lately) then we could have two cover presenters on Spotlight tomorrow!

Justin and Victoria both back today. There are 3 hour train journeys from Paddington to Plymouth.

Yeah, I know... but I didn't think she'd want to travel either late at night or early in the morning... but obviously she doesn't mind!

Do you think we'd be allowed to put up a picture of the train, seeing as it would be totally ON topic?

perhaps someone on here with an artistic' bent' could rustle us up some sketches. In the style of those court pictures , an artists impression of the train going through Dawlish and an 'in carriage' view of victoria drinking her tea and reading The Sun.

You beat me to it, you rascal!

There she is, in the third carriage, on her way from a shift in London on BBC News 24 to her "day job" in Plymouth doing Spotlight.
