Dance Information
The Flying Scotsman is an express passenger train service that has been running between London, England and Edinburgh, Scotland since 1862.
As a major link between the capital cities of England and Scotland, the Flying Scotsman was an extremely long and heavy train, especially in the days before road and air transport became common. As such, it has required very powerful locomotives. At least 7 different types of Locomotives have been used to haul (and in some cases, specifically designed to haul) the Flying Scotsman.
