London King’s Cross to Edinburgh

narrated by Fred Dinenage

Now you can see virtually the whole of the ECML on one DVD, complete with appropriate menus to allow you to go where you want to, when you want to.

Still one of Britain's premier expresses, The Flying
Scotsman completes the 393 miles from King's Cross to Edinburgh in just over four hours - an average
speed of 94.3 miles an hour!

Highlights

Part One includes the exit from
King's Cross with the various tunnels, the
infamous Welwyn bottleneck, which brings the
ECML down to just two tracks, the Newark flat
crossing, (the last in the UK) the Selby new line, and Stoke bank, where "Mallard" achieved the world speed record
for steam traction. We even take a look inside the A4 engine now housed within the National Railway Museum at York.

Part Two covers the second leg from York to Edinburgh
calling only at Newcastle. Highlights include: Darlington Bank Top avoiding line, the approach to Newcastle - crossing the mighty River Tyne, the notorious curve at Morpeth, the Royal Border Bridge at Berwick, the scenic coastal sections and the approach to Edinburgh Waverley.

NB: Newcastle/Edinburgh section reduced by 40% for
time reasons (No features lost).
