Blue Peter 40th aniversary railtour

In 1998, Blue Peter and Regency Rail Cruises ran a special train from Edinburgh Waverley to London Kings cross down the East Coast Main Line to celebrate 40 years of the famous children's television program. Naturally, the tour used the only surviving A2 Pacific, 60532 "Blue Peter", at a distance of 393 miles, this was one of the loco's most taxing main line runs during the preservation era. So here is the episode of Blue Peter as presenters Richard Bacon, Stuart Miles, Konnie Huq and Katy Hill take to the rails, as opposed to being sat in the studio in West London!
