4472-Flying Scotsman

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

An epitaph for the age of steam
Another chance to see this unique film of the Flying Scotsman's dramatic non-stop run from London to Edinburgh on May 1, 1968.
It was forty years from the day of its first non-stop run that this famous old engine, now privately owned by Alan Pegler, took some 300 railway enthusiasts on a never-to-be-repeated journey.
The film of this journey has been described by one critic as 'as good as a free ticket to eternal youth'.
