Behind the train lines of sidings for coal trains are just visible. As Flying Scotsman has two tenders I think this is on its return journey from Edinburgh soon after a non-stop run from London to Edinburgh on 1st May 1968. (Nearly ran out of water before reaching destination) For video of outward journey see; http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/steamtrains/7307.shtml
