苏格兰飞人苏格兰飞人

  世界最著名的蒸汽机车之一,也是首辆创造时速每小时100英里记录的蒸汽机车,“苏格兰飞人”,在经过长达十年的翻修工程后重返铁轨。“苏格兰飞人”建造于1923年。以下是 James Alexander 的报道。

  This is the moment steam enthusiasts have been waiting for: the moment Flying Scotsman, in its classic green livery, and with steam pouring from its chimney, thunders back onto the East Coast Main Line, where it made its name.

  Passengers, who've paid up to £450 a ticket, are enjoying a champagne breakfast in vintage carriages.

  The historic engine won't be setting any speed records today: safety rules mean it's restricted to 45 miles an hour.

  It's due into York around midday, where it will be kept in the National Railway Museum.
