This video, taken from Jacob's Ladder, captures the new A1 Peppercorn class locomotive "Tornado" leaving Edinburgh Waverley at 14:19 on a railtour to Leeds on 7th March 2009. This is Tornado's first visit North of the border as well as its first departure from the city of Edinburgh. She was certainly in fine form today at this historic moment, which drew huge crowds at Waverley where entrance had to be restricted due to the numbers in attendance. Despite this the staff at Waverley were helpful and, as you'd expect at such an event, all the enthusiasts were good-natured.
how do you find out about when these trains will be coming upto edinburgh?
