The Flying Scotsman could be banned from main line tracks after people trespassed to catch a glimpse of it. There was chaos between Derby and Birmingham last Sunday as fans vied to spot the legendary loco on its UK tour. The situation was blamed for a string of delays to normal services, with reports of people refusing to move when challenged by drivers.
