Flying Scotsman on London King's Cross to York run

The Flying Scotsman steamed into Nottinghamshire today for the first of its two visits to the county this week. Fortunately, the issue was quickly resolved and preparations continued as it made a test run from the city to Scarborough, passing through York station, delighting onlooking crowds.

Such was the enthusiasm among fans of the Flying Scotsman that it had to pause during its journey from London's King's Cross to York, because some onlookers were getting too close to the track. "We are so thrilled this historic day has finally come to pass".

Network Rail confirmed that Flying Scotsman was held up for 10 minutes and is now continuing the journey "at a slower speed". We will be showing it in light steam in our North Yard and then it will finish off as the centre of attention on our Great Hall turntable.
