Flying Scotsman marks rail anniversary on heritage line
The locomotive has made its first passenger journey of the year.
The Flying Scotsman has made its first passenger journeys of the year in Cambridgeshire to commemorate the anniversary of British Railways.
Train lovers were photographed smiling from the vintage carriages behind the famous steam locomotive as it approached Wansford station on the Nene Valley Railway on Sunday.
In 1934, it became the first locomotive in the UK to reach 100mph during a special test run, and it was retired by British Rail from normal service in 1963.
He said he has particularly enjoyed seeing the younger generation taking an interest in the train.
The Flying Scotsman will remain at Nene Valley Railway until March 9 and tickets have already sold out for the weekend passenger services.
