The Flying Scotsman will now be able to run on the Borders and Fife

:00:09.:00:13.

It comes after 24 hours of wrangling between the government

The rail operator said last night that it had been unable to check

if the locomotive would have fitted platforms and bridges on the line.

a day of drama. Last night Network Rail said they did not have the rate

Flying Scotsman had been overcome with the reaction from the public

:01:41.:01:43.

and compared it to David and Goliath. Perhaps we had more

:01:44.:01:47.

battalions on the side of David and we realised got the reaction from

:01:48.:01:52.

Scotland this morning was fantastic, supportive of what we are trying to
