Approx. one month ago I received a telecon regarding a rail vehicle (train + coaches) that had been seen running on the East Coast Main Line flanked by a hellicopter.
After further investigation it was found out the the vehicle was been filmed and would appear in the new series of "Top Gear". the vehicle was in a race for Kings Cross (London) to Edinburgh (Scotland) against two other modes of transport from 60 years ago.
The said rail vehicle is:
Class A1 Pacific 60163 "TORNADO" in LNER livery and Clarksons is on the foot plate. A new steam locomotive built last year and during the race "Tornado" broke numerous records which had stood for years.
So sit back as this should be a good one.
