Flying Scotsman chugs through Melton again
Steam enthusiasts cheered the iconic Flying Scotsman as it chugged through Melton again today (Friday).
Melton Times reader Paul Davies snapped this lovely shot of the train as it passed Wyfordby.
Onlookers from the platforms at Melton station and the nearby Burton Street road bridge were thrilled to see the engine, which has been reconditioned at a cost of £4.2 million, as it made its way from London up to York.
