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.

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.
