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.

If you want to see the Flying Scotsman, it will return to the tracks at Melton on November 4, stopping en route to pick up passengers.
