The Flying Scotsman is an express passenger train service that has operated between Edinburgh and London, the capitals of Scotland and England, via the East Coast Main Line. The service began in 1862; the name was officially adopted in 1924. Our pictures show it passing through Workington in 1980. We’ve also got pictures of children receiving their cycling proficiency certificates in 1969. The Cycling Proficiency Test was a test given by Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents which served as a minimum recommended standard for cycling on British roads. It was superseded by the National Standards for Cycle Training, branded Bikeability, in England in 2007.
EMERGENCY services have warned people in Inverclyde about the danger of stepping onto frozen dams and reservoirs. The Scottish Fire & Rescue Service (SFRS) and Police Scotland are warning locals to stay clear of ice whenever temperatures plummet. It follows reports of people venturing on to ice at Coves Reservoir, Murdieston Dam and The Knapps in Kilmacolm. Local police have received calls about children playing on the ice, especially Coves Reservoir. Chief Inspector Paul Cameron has reminded the people of Inverclyde of the dangers. He said: Playing on frozen ponds, lakes or reservoirs is perilous. Ice can be thick in one area yet much thinner elsewhere and falling into frozen water can end in tragedy.
