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 the Top Gear Race to the North, 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.
