The Flying Scotsman departed London King’s Cross this morning en route to York on its inaugural run after restoration.

After ten years and £4.2 million spent the loco has been restored to its historic British Rail green and is now running the famous route up the East Coast of Britain – dubbed the ‘route of the Flying Scotsman’ – where it will terminate in York around midday today.

A huge number of spectators turned up to see the departure at King’s Cross.
