Let’s face it, we all know there are very few benefits to commuting into central London from the suburbs on a daily basis. To see the Flying Scotsman in full steam on Thursday was a real privilege and huge thrill. I was wearily going through my normal morning routine with BBC Breakfast TV on in the background when I spotted the news regarding it’s historic trip from London’s Kings Cross to York, departing at 08:40. Being a regular commuter, I know it takes approximately 20 minutes from Kings Cross to New Southgate, so, fortunately for me, I would be in time to catch my regular 07:57am and possibly catch the Flying Scotsman as it passed by.
I’m quite pleased I managed to get a decent shot of the train as it steamed by. Brightened up a usually dreary trip on the Great Northern Line rolling stock…
