I'm not so sure.  I posted on gaffa some passages from the book when HoL 
came out, and there *is* a mention of trains - the part where Peter saw
the men in the "big black car" coming up the hill and he runs like a train
(or something to that effect) trying to reach his father.  
So either 1) Kate didn't tell the truth (and this has happened before) or
2) she forgot but it stayed in her subconcious memory (it was a
powerful passage) or 3) Stuart's RAM is faulty :-) :-) :-)

(When I first posted the passages I didn't even notice the train bit.  It
was |>oug who pointed it out when he saw it!)
