The Great Northern Railway from Shaftholme in Yorkshire to King's Cross was completed in 1850. This is on the section between Little Bytham and Essendine where Mallard achieved a world record speed for a steam locomotive of 126 miles per hour on 3rd July 1938 on the descent of Stoke Bank. This record has never been beaten. See LinkExternal link for more information.
