Eversholt Rail is delighted to announce that they have donated a Class 91 locomotive to the Scottish Railway Preservation Society for display at the Museum of Scottish Railways.

Locomotive 91131 was the last of the Class 91 locomotives to be built at Crewe works in 1991. It holds the fastest passenger speed record in the UK having recorded a speed of 154.1mph on Stoke Bank on 2 June 1995. 91131 was in operation on the East Coast Mainline from 1991 until it was withdrawn from service in 2020.

A world first will take place in Yorkshire next month to celebrate the heritage and future of one of the country's most iconic railway lines.

Four trains spanning four generations will travel side by side, in the same direction, along the East Coast Main Line on April 23 2017.

Yorkshires DNA of speed and style through the ages binds together an event that fittingly comes just days before the now legendary Tour de Yorkshire begins.

This will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the world famous Flying Scotsman travel alongside two trains from Virgin Trains revitalised fleet - an HST (Class 43), an InterCity225 (Class 91) - and the rail operators brand new train, the Virgin Azuma (Class 800) which is being built by Hitachi in the North East, and will come into service in 2018.

The four trains will travel together for several miles north of York to showcase the past, present and future of rail travel.
