TORNADO, the first new mainline steam locomotive to be built in the UK for almost 50 years, will be travelling from York to Edinburgh on Friday, October 22, re-tracing a major part of last year’s famous Race To The North’ on BBC TV’s Top Gear programme.
The locomotive will haul The Royal Borderer from York to the Scottish cpaital and back, calling additionally at Darlington, Durham and Newcastle to pick up passengers, giving some three hours in Edinburgh. Adult fares start at £99 and tickets are still available from Pathfinder Tours (phone 01453 835414 or see www.pathfindertours.co.uk.)
