Special visitor at National Railway musuem

The National Railway Museum in York had a very special visitor today, in the shape of the classic steam train, 'Bittern.'It set off from King's Cross and despite being seventy-six years old managed to top ninety miles an hour on its way north.

The fastest steam train is the Mallard which got up to one hundred and twenty-six miles per hour near Grantham in nineteen thirty-eight. Both trains will be on display at the museum from Wednesday.
