Playing it safe
The Flying Scotsman visited the Swanage railway last week to re-unite it with its support coach which it toured America with. I understand the Swanage railway has repatriated and restored the support coach and this visit completed the story.
I was in Dorset at the time and it would have been rude not to have called in for a photograph. A small diversion on the way and never having photographed the line before played it safe with a well guarded location (by two railway marshalls).
Scotsman gives a whisp of steam and he coasts between Corfe Castle and Norden Park and Ride. People like to call locos she, but the name suggests male.
