- Prior to its Summer stint running out of York on Waverley tours, 60103 'Flying Scotsman' ran a final tour from London Kings Cross to York with an interesting itinerary. Starting at Kings Cross the A3 would run to Peterborough along its old stomping ground including some now rare fast line running between Welwyn and the water stop at Holme. After Peterborough the pacific would divert off the mainline and run through Stamford to reach the Midland Mainline at Syston. Once again the tour was put on the fast for a run North.
The shot starts at Biggleswade station after a quick change of plans owing the vast amounts of line side vegetation at Lindsells. Here Flying Scotsman is seen flying along at its maximum permitted speed. After a long, but speedy dash to Loughborough, the A3 is seen amongst the masses of onlookers. Unfortunately the speed wasn't quite what I thought it would be, but non-the-less the Gresley Racehorse lifts it unassisted 12 coach load away in fine style.

Opening clip: 75mph LOL. 'Pushing it' is an understatement!
82mph even!! Lovely. JG.
Love these videos. Thanks for posting!!!
I was on this tour, however for both shots I was on the other side of the train, Some fantastic shots though :D
Thanks Mark, hope you had a good trip! Cheers - Will
The RailwayLad Feel free to join me in reporting these bots.
Mark Horner I'm sure half these views have been me revisiting the video to report and remove them
Who gives a shite about the 75mph speed limit?! Give it FULL BEANS, baby!
Thanks for posting 🏴
Two nice captures Will, she was certainly on a roll at Biggleswade & Loughborough was fine even if busy & with that dreaded announcement lol.I just stayed local for the Duchess, assume your car is sorted now. ... Brian.
Thanks Brian. Was certainly living up to her name at Biggleswade. Fast line steam at Loughborough has been on my filming bucket list for a while now so glad I can tick it off. Car has just been through a rather expensive MOT and respected repairs so I'm hoping that my luck will change a bit now... cheers - Will
Haha could you imaging this back in the day it would have felt about 200 MPH such a beautiful loko !!
They can't do 200 MPH unless you're european, in which case 200 KMH are 125 MPH
They should do another 100 mph attempt on the 100th anaversery of the 100 mph run.
Come on now! He was 11 years old when he did that run. You want him to repeat it when he's 111? I am shaking my head!
@@elainelethborg2550 And she has had a full overhaul, and is constantly getting checked. It’s pistons are probably bored of the speed they turn at.
0:52 Tornado's wheels on the side of a building???? I didn't see this before when I've visited Loughborough before.
now i see why they built tornado
What an engine glad it still exist today cause of a rich man
Superb
Flying Squeaksman going fast
Yeap the old boy has still got it in him
That whistle is the biggest disappointment in railway history.. tear it off and put on an A4 chime!
nice loco, hideous whistle
Am I right in assuming that steam at full boiler pressure is applied to the "Scotsman's" whistle? If so, cannot a pressure control valve be fitted in the circuit to reduce this pressure and provide us with a more pleasant note rather than this awful high-pitched scream?
Kristian Messenger was like that when it was built, will never be changed. When u hear that whistle u know it’s he flying Scotsman
Classic Great Northern whistle, which became the LNE standard after grouping. Nothing wrong with it at all...
We're living in Germany. We're often asked "Where is it better?" Standard answer "Some things better here, some things better in the States, a lot of things just different". One thing better in the states, the steam whistles.
@@blitzkrieg634 No. That whistle is not the original. It was installed when he was in the USA. Why is something one cannot comprehend.
I member this train passing me back in 2005
God save the foot plate crew if they throw a rod. I guess at Biggleswade they were on the plus side of 70 mph?
What is the coach with the small, high windows? Is it a mail car?
TheBandana1969 are you looking at the fourth coach? If so that’s the kitchen coach.
@@AuthenticAspects Thanks so much. It was not the dining car, neither a sleeper car that was for sure.
Imagine Big Boy trying to do that

Loughborough at 45MPH
All those people filming vertically . Smh
the train now approaching platform 3 will blow you away & squeak at you so stand back
Super OK
Personally mon amour...As youngsters in Ireland, we always loved it when the trains passed by at a leisurely rate, as it provided us a great chance to bounce a few ripe tomatoes off some of the pork-pie-faced blokes who stuck their mugs out the window/door openings. Blimey, what fun. ESPECIALLY if they were holding a pint a' bitters that they then dropped!
Ho-Ho-Ho!...as Monsieur Santa would say.
First
Nice to see it without some dumb diesel on the back just because some twit in an office somewhere says it's safer.
60103 @ 76MPH @ Bigglleswade
That's what I calculated. Thanks for watching - Will
