A row has erupted over the first public steam train, as it is set to leave its spiritual home after more than 160 years.
The National Railway Museum has been accused of destroying a key part of the town of Darlington’s heritage in a move that will see the first steam engine to haul passengers on a public railway leave town permanently for the first time in 163 years.
