On The Tracks Of The Flying Scotsman

Here is a celebration in words and pictures of the Flying Scotsman express from London to Edinburgh and the great railway centres along its tracks – Doncaster, York, Darlington and Newcastle. The express gained its name over 100 years ago but dates back to the Victorian high noon of railways. Its growing acclaim led to the same name being given to the Flying Scotsman engine. Both the train and the locomotive are now world-famous. So too is the railway the express uses – the East Coast Main Line linking the capitals of England and Scotland with its magnificent coastal scenery providing a final flourish.
