The Flying Scotsman was the UK’s first steam locomotive to reach 100mph. The Flying Scotsman moniker was first adopted in 1924, but the locomotive’s history actually goes back to the 1860’s when it was named the Special Scotch Express.

The train is currently operated by LNER. The service covers 393 miles in just four hours and runs between Edinburgh Waverley and London Kings Cross.
