The East Coast Main Line between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh Waverley is also known as the route of the Flying Scotsman.

The famous train started out as the Special Scotch Express’ in the 1860s and became the ‘Flying Scotsman’ in 1924. The world’s most famous steam locomotive, Sir Nigel Gresley’s A3 Pacific No. 4472 Flying Scotsman, was named after it, and went on to become the first steam engine to be officially timed at 100mph.

Author Robin Jones said: “The East Coast Main Line is famous as being the route on which the record was set for the fastest run by a steam locomotive, Mallard, in 1938, but it is so much more than that.

“It is also a dazzling cross-section of British landscape, history, society and culture, with so much waiting to be seen from the unique position of the elevated height of a train carriage window. There are surprises as every turn if you care to look.”

The story of the places along the railway is accompanied by classic pictures of the line and its stations both in the steam era and today.
