KINGS CROSS to WELWYN Great Northern lineside & steam train ride 1961

Steam action on the south end of the East Coast Main Line, filmed in 1960 and 61 and edited to progress northwards from Kings Cross.
Summer Saturdays along this line was a continual procession of steam-hauled expresses. We also visit two signal boxes and see a very minor incident.
