Revealed: How 'Operation Inferno' mock scenario prepared Fife's...

Built in 1923 for the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) at Doncaster Works, Flying Scotsman was designed by Sir Nigel Gresley as part of the A1 class – the most powerful locomotives used by the railway.

By 1924, Flying Scotsman had been renumbered 4472 – and been given the name ‘Flying Scotsman’ after the London to Edinburgh rail service which started daily at 10am in 1862.

She was the first steam locomotive to undertake a non-stop run between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh Waverley and retired from regular service in 1963 after covering 2,076,000 miles (3,341,000 km).
