THE once in a lifetime event taking place on Yorkshire’s railways later this month has been confirmed, with the historic occasion to begin at 06.00 on Sunday April 23 near the North Yorkshire village of Tollerton.
With the eyes of the world watching, four trains spanning four generations will travel side by side, in the same direction, to celebrate the past, present and future of one of the country’s most iconic pieces of railway, the East Coast Main Line, before arriving into York at around 08.00 for a special celebration that will last until around 09.00.
The world famous Flying Scotsman will travel alongside two trains from Virgin Trains’ revitalised fleet - an HST (Class 43), an InterCity225 (Class 91) - and the rail operator’s brand new train, the Virgin Azuma (Class 800) which is being built by Hitachi in the North East, and will come into service in 2018.
