Despite recently learning that James May and the Jag were 30 miles south of Grantham, this didn't seem to bother either Clarkson or myself. And with the water and coal refill stop at Grantham now complete, we re-boarded the footplates of our respective engines, and two whistle blasts from the whistles of both Scotsman and Tornado, and a release of steam from both engines cylinder drains. We slowly set off from the platform at Grantham, and off towards our next coal and water stop, at York. Upon arrival at York, after a 75 MPH run through Doncaster, which was sort of a homecoming for Flying Scotsman, seeing as how she was built there back on February 24th of 1923, among other engines such as A4 4468 'Mallard'. And, if I'm being honest, I didn't care what other people's opinions were when it came to the LNER's best Chief Mechanical Engineer, Sir Nigel Gresley. When it came to UK steam engine designs, his, were as good as they got. Anyway, we would then learn, before setting off for our next coal and water stop at Newcastle, where we would be stationary for 34 minutes, that Hammond and the Vincent, were about 20 miles south of Doncaster. But once again, this didn't bother either Clarkson or myself, seeing as our stoking of both engines fires had put us so far ahead at this point, that it was embarrassing. However, as we set off again, Tornado wound up spinning her wheels, before quickly gaining traction again. However, it was at Newcastle, during the next coal and water stop, that things would very slowly, start to fall apart.
