THE incident with‘A3’No. 60103 Flying Scotsman and the‘Royal Scotsman’ coaching stock at Aviemore on September 29 (see page 67) is not the first time the locomotive has had an argument with its train since being saved for preservation.
On September 4, 1965, while running as LNER No. 4472, the‘A3’removed part of the corridor connection from the leading coach of the Warwickshire Railway Society’s‘Pennine’railtour from Birmingham whilst being detached at Carlisle.
