    Very excited to be going on my first rail tour tomorrow which goes from London Kings Cross up to York. I will be taking a keen interest in the section between Peterborough and Doncaster as it’s one of my favourite TSW routes. It will take around 3 hours to complete this section which seems a bit of a plod but should be able to take plenty in and hopefully I will be able to get a good glimpse of the Mallard speed record sign between Peterborough and Grantham.
