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!

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post - a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London, depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

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 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. Tongue

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

There are alternative more recent cab ride videos of the ECML▸ (East Coast Main Line) on YouTube.
