It was the fastest day express service on the east coast mainline, and before long became popularly – but unofficially – known as the Flying Scotsman.

Individuals have also been conferred with the title of 'the Flying Scotsman', notably cycle-racing pioneer, innovator and twice world hour record holder, Graeme Obree, and more recently Sir Chris Hoy, the eleven times World Champion and six times Olympic champion cyclist. In Our Time • Passage to Marseille • Shine On, Harvest Moon • Uncertain Glory • Between Two Worlds • Mr. Skeffington • Make Your Own Bed • The Mask of Dimitrios • The Adventures of Mark Twain • Janie • Crime by Night • Arsenic and Old Lace • The Last Ride • To Have and Have Not • The Very Thought of You • The Conspirators • The Doughgirls • Hollywood Canteen The talking scenes, introduced halfway through, weigh down the story but sound effects enhance the thrilling train action that was shot with Gresley's co-operation. It’s interesting seeing Ray Milland in his very first performance. He would go on to Dial M For Murder, The Lost Weekend and Love Story and he has plenty of sly, confident charisma here. Neither Jean nor Crow come across as especially convincing, though Marriott acquits himself as the aging driver (though only in his mid-forties, he deftly conveys the character’s 60-odd years). In a film that is over inside of an hour, pacing is not really a problem and given that the climax involves a runaway train, events become suitably energetic, tense and eventful as the finale approaches. Sir William McAlpine, pictured here in 2016, saved Flying Scotsman in 1973 by putting together a rescue plan and paying off creditors.

The first half of this obscure movie is silent and we don't see any railway action. This starts in the second half, as does the sound. The engine's fireman sets out on his last trip before retirement. The previous day, he reported his driver for being drunk and gets suspended for this. He is on the train to get his revenge. The driver's daughter is also aboard. The suspended driver gets out of his carriage and goes to the engine by walking along the roof of the train, followed by the fireman's daughter. A fight breaks out when he arrives and the loco is uncoupled from the rest of the train, a points change just avoids a collision. After things have calmed down, the train continues its journey and arrives in Edinburgh on time, despite the delay. Since the 1930s there have been several other claims to the title of the Flying Scotsman, predominantly associated with cycling. The Flying Scot series of bicycles were built in Glasgow from the late 1920s until 1982 by a firm founded in 1901 by David Rattray. Although most 'Scots' bicycles were men's frames, there were also women's versions called The Queen of Scots.It was the first service to run non-stop over 100 miles and for a long time held the record as the world’s longest scheduled non-stop run from London to Newcastle, a distance of 268 ½ miles. During the period between the First and Second World Wars, the service became a byword for the luxury of rail travel.
