It was fantastic. Really interesting interviewee and delivered with lots of enthusiasm. And it was very funny too! Fantastic reports, wasn't going badly at all.
About the only two people who would have made the reports more entertaining are two who are both train enthusiasts,
the retired Peter Snow, and the weekend/relief presenter Nicholas Owen.

Get the impression Chris Eakin didn't spend much time around trains as a child. Seems far more excited about being at a steam railway, rather than the story they're actually covering.
Also, this is all going a little badly - jumping on a train 'unrehearsed', then leaping out suddenly because he was worried said train would leave. He mentioned something about the news running order having been running late or something.
ETA: Apparently Matthew and Emily were laughing 'all the way through' the segment.
