Four generations of trains representing the past, present and future of rail travel ran side by side in the same direction on the East Coast Main Line, a world first.

The event took place in Yorkshire and featured the Flying Scotsman alongside two trains from our current fleet – the Intercity 125 (Class 43) and Intercity 225 (Class 91). The first new Virgin Azuma (Class 800) train was also featured.

The journey through the Yorkshire countryside was enjoyed at points along the route, concluding at York station.
