Watch the world's most famous train the Flying Scotsman as it thunders through Bedfordshire.

Train enthusiasts gathered on platforms at Biggleswade and Sandy on the York to London line to watch as the newly-refurbished Flying Scotsman thundered past earlier this afternoon.

The steam engine, pulling a couple of vintage carriages, made its high-speed run down to Kings Cross from the National Railway Museum, where it has undergone a 10-year, multimillion pound restoration.
