Vince; great to see a steamer without the ugly overhead gantries and cables. Good photo.

I wish I’d known about the Tornado coming through. I’d have liked to have seen that.

Lovely photo.

In view of dangerous illegal trespass by some irresponsible types which has caused considerable delay to normal service trains when Flying Scotsman has run on the main line, there is an understandable reluctance to publish details of iconic steam locomotive moves. Thankfully, there were no such incidents concerning the running of this train last Saturday.
