Every story from history has its 'goodies' and 'baddies', but how much of our perception of these events is influenced by the storytellers?
Today I'm joined by Simon A.C. Martin, who is working on a book about the engineer Edward Thompson, who took over from Sir Nigel Gresley as Chief Mechanical Engineer on the London and North Eastern Railway at the height of World War Two.
