Storyline
Documents the secret, overnight attempt to set a 100 mph record for the newly-built steam locomotive Tornado, between Newcastle and York on the East Coast Main Line, the first time that such a speed has been attempted in the UK by a steam locomotive since British Rail withdrew them in the 1960s.
