Swan: Dave Catleugh sent this photo of a new visitor to the Boating Lake.

flying scotsman arriving

As many people know, The Flying Scotsman visited Locomotion, The National Railway Museum at Shildon last month. I was lucky enough to be able to catch this shot of her being brought down the line towed behind a diesel. She was unable to arrive under her own steam due to the fire risk of scorched grass due to the heat wave. I was in the right place at the right time.
