Out for a duck: Mallard's off the rails

摘要

The Gresley Society Trust has been forced to drop its plan to incorporate a mallard duck in a statue of Sir Nigel Gresley it has commissioned for King's Cross station. Even though many financial donations have been received for the proposed statue with the duck, the two grandsons of the former LNER chief mechanical engineer have objected to it, claiming that it is not in keeping with their grandfather's image.
