    My footage of Flying Scotsman storming up Saunderton Bank through the station and thundering through the rain at Kennington near Oxford. Enjoy.

    I can't stand the dubbed in "music", so that's the last mrKnowwun video I will watch. To make sure of it I will set "Ignore" (after I've posted this).

    And it was out again tonight, more or less on my doorstep so on the way to the pub, I took a quick handheld shot.

    No Music or intro (Now someone has me on ignore they will never know - the irony of it)

    Thanks to all involved for running the tours yesterday, for the record, diesel seemed to be taking its own weight at Brentford while Scotsman worked hard up front. I attach below my video and some photos from around South London.

    But the music only played during the opening titles and for a few seconds at the end, not during the whole film. I don't think that's uncommon.
    I'm not sure about the choice of music, but that's another story. :)

    I think you'll find Scotsman set off the fire alarm on its return to Victoria, when it would be right inside the station. :eek:

    The fire alarm went off prior to the evening trip, based on the times on the BBC website.

    You're right. If the BBC website times are correct there's surely no way for the Scotsman set off the alarms unless it was still under the canopy. But I would have thought at 11 coaches + diesel the loco would be out in the open.

    It would be uncharitable of me to think that Network Rail covered up a false alarm with an excuse about a steam locomotive but there are some, I am sure, who find all this heritage stuff a distraction from the day job of trying to run a railway............

    No. The alarm went off immediately after Scotsman's departure.

    So it looks like Scotsman was innocent.
