The Flying Scotsman Centenary Weekender (York to Edinburgh)

60103 Flying Scotsman is celebrating its centenary this year. The iconic LNER Class A3 Pacific locomotive, designed by Sir Nigel Gresley and built at Doncaster works in 1923, is touring the nation as part of the celebrations. This weekend the locomotive is the star attraction of the Railway Touring Company's five-day "The Flying Scotsman Centenary Weekender" tour. This video is the second day of the tour between York and Edinburgh. Train 1Z48 departs York bang on time at 9.02 am. It consists of 60103 Flying Scotsman, 12 coaches and 47812 at the rear. The train is operated by West Coast Railways. After York I headed to Darlington, overtaking 1Z48 as it stood in Darlington South Down Passing Loop just to the south of the station. The train passed through platform 4, which is quite unusual as through trains are usually routed via the avoiding lines to the east of the station. I again leap-frogged 1Z48 and was awaiting its arrival at Berwick Upon Tweed. The train approached Berwick nice and slowly, as it was booked into the Goods Loop to take on water. It being in the loop, instead of passing flush against the platform edge, also gave a good view as it trundled past. For the final time I overtook 1Z48 and was awaiting its arrival at Reston. From being the only person at Reston, I was joined by dozens more in the half hour before Flying Scotsman's arrival. Reston is elevated on an embankment and the wind was howling through the station. The chap opposite saw his tripod blow over on at least 3 occasions, so I hope his managed to get some footage. With precision timing train 1Z48 hammered through the station just 10 seconds before we would have been bowled by a southbound LNER Azuma. With that it was home, a spot of editing and uploading the fruits of my labour for you to see here. I covered more than 200 miles today. I hope you find my footage worthwhile viewing.
