Still one of Britain's premier expresses, The Flying Scotsman completes the 393 miles from King's Cross to Edinburgh in just over four hours.
We take a cab ride on board a class 91 electric locomotive on the 10.00 departure from Kings Cross. The first part of the programme records the journey as far as York, calling only at Peterborough, requiring a speed of 125 mph for the schedule. Part two covers the remainder of the journey to Edinburgh calling only at Newcastle with an average speed of 87.6mph.
