As always, please respect the dangers of the railway. Please do not trespass on the railway to see this iconic locomotive – stay to public access spots.
The timings are insulting to a locomotive of this power and stature.
An hour from Darlington to York is ludicrous. Its been really held back, even on the slow lines.
Please give these engines a chance to show they can do in future.
