Warning: it is just over one hour and thirty minutes long - but if you do happen to have that amount of spare time available, over the New Year holiday, may I commend it to you!

CfN.  ;)

Get that down to just under 50mins if you watch it at double speed - you can still make out Fred Dineage's commentary.

Isn' there a safety issue on the corners at double speed?

I blame Chris B - for going too fast around the Morpeth curve....

Happy New Year all!

I saw it in my YT suggestions a few days ago, the bloke who uploaded it had said it was a ‘historic video’, I assume he wasn’t quite up to speed with copyright law. At that time a couple of comments already mentioned he was wrong to post it.

As this was the named train service it was 'The Flying Scotsman' including the definite article. :P

The videos of the journey from King's Cross to Edinburgh with GNER in 1999/2000 are available to purchase for download or on DVD from Video 125.
