One of the world's most famous locomotives has set off on its official return to the tracks. The Flying Scotsman is making the journey from London King's Cross to York, where it will go on display at the National Railway Museum (NRM). The engine, which was retired from service in 1963, has been restored for the NRM in a decade-long, £4.2m refit. It departed King's Cross as scheduled at 07:40 GMT and is heading up the East Coast mainline on a non-stop run.
