Summary

Description

Brand new steam locomotive 60163 Tornado hauls a charter train from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh Waverley on 25 April 2009. The private trip was filmed by the BBC for a Top Gear Race, with James May a.k.a Captain Slow in a vintage Jaguar and Richard Hammond on a classic motorbike, racing Jeremy Clarkson on the train, but with the car and bike only allowed to use A roads.

Tornado was booked to leave London at 07.25 BST and arrive in Edinburgh at 15.27 BST. Booked times

The train carried the headboard for a Cathedrals Express journey, and barring the maroon support coach at the front, was formed from a uniform rake of nine Royal Scot blood and custard coaches.
