Down 'Queen of Scots' at Metal Bridge, north of Ferryhill
Down 'Queen of Scots' at Metal Bridge, north of Ferryhill
View south, towards Ferryhill, Darlington etc. on the ECML. Unimpressive with a dirty locomotive lacking the express's headboard, the 'Queen of Scots' Pullman left King's Cross at 12.00 and has come via Leeds (reverse) and Harrogate - rather than York, then Darlington, call at Newcastle and Edinburgh, terminating at Glasgow Queen Street at 21.12. The locomotive is Gresley V2 No. 60975 (built 9/43 as No. 3687 (No. 975 from 1946), withdrawn 9/66).
