    Wait its nearly autumn. I expect Her Madge's little foray wont run because of leaves on the line. Never mind, she'll get a voucher to travel on another Royal Train on a date she can't do.

    Should imagine it's due to her Scots ancestry ?

    I would imagine no 9 was chosen quite simply because there are currently only three locos who could (60009, 60163 or 70000) and originally she should have been in Scotland and the other two weren't.

    Some brief footage of No 9 and Tornado LE move, presumably arriving in Scotland, on BBC Breakfast this morning.
