Scarborough Spa Express 2011

[steam_mad]

I filmed the train this week (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwwmGf-o0mI)
and just noticed that on the morning of the first run, the train carried the headboard "the Flying Scotsman". Does anybody know why?

The Scarborough Spa Express headboard spends most of the year in Scarborough and was only brought to York on Tuesday morning. With the stock out at Holgate and only a short time available between the stock coming into platform 5 and the train's departure there was no opportunity (especially under the wires) to put it on until at the Bootham water stop later. I would guess that someone in the NRM decided that the FS headboard needed an outing.

Hi Steam mad

love the filming, I really hope someone will do that for our rail tour and maybe get the plane as well.

cheers
