Train enthusiasts gathered on platforms at Biggleswade and Sandy on the York to London line to watch as the newly-refurbished Flying Scotsman thundered past earlier this afternoon.
The steam engine, pulling a couple of vintage carriages, made its high-speed run down to Kings Cross from the National Railway Museum, where it has undergone a 10-year, multimillion pound restoration.
The distinctive engine passed through at around 3.09pm before making it to Biggleswade three minutes later.
