Apologies if this has been asked before. When Scotsman relocates from one area to another, ie York to Tyseley a few weeks ago it was towed by a diesel. A few weeks later Tornado made the same journey but from Darlington on her own. Why does Scotsman need special treatment ?

It doesn’t, it’s entirely circumstantial:


(Video shows Flying Scotsman and Support Coach on the mainline at Pontefract Baghill without diesel assistance)
