After a ten-year restoration, we follow the Flying Scotsman, the world’s most famous steam engine, as it returns to the tracks.
It’s a locomotive legend. Whether people are interested in steam engines or not, everybody seems to love the Scotsman; it’s simply a national treasure. A steel celebrity, a media darling… and after a painstaking restoration that has cost over four million pounds, the Scotsman is finally coming home to York.

There is going to be a real welcome back for the 93-year-old engine with its inaugural run from King’s Cross Station in London, pulling a trainload of enthusiasts and supporters 200 miles north on the mainline. It is a triumphant return to the museum – and to a city synonymous with steam.

We are on board the train for its final test runs on the East Lancashire Railway and the scenic Settle-Carlisle railway, across Ribblehead Viaduct, before climbing on board for the inaugural trip. With cameras on the footplate, we capture the exhilaration, the excitement and the sheer hard work required to keep Scotsman on the line.

We join the celebrations – talking to historians, fans and enthusiasts about the engine… and marvel at how the Flying Scotsman has captured the imagination of so many people across the world since it first came to life in Doncaster in 1923.
