Flying Scotsman leaving York
by pgweber
On 10th May 2016, Flying Scotsman departs York with a return trip along the 'racing stretch' of the East Coast Main Line (ECML) to Newcastle.
I managed to overtake her on a service train and be in Newcastle in time to see her crossing the Tyne.

Thanks David. It was elbows everywhere. Next time I'll take a piece of chalk and draw some staggered diagonals on the floor for the photters to line up on so that we all get a clear view. Yes, she was looped at Ferryhill/Tursdale junction.
I left York about 20 mins later allowing time to photograph the arrival of an electric hauled special on a GBRailfreight staff jolly to the NRM.

Where did your train overtake the Scotsman? Was it Ferryhill?
