I AM writing with regard to the article 'Crowd control talks ahead of loco's visit' (Keighley News, December 22) re the Flying Scotsman.

You have probably been bombarded with e-mails, but nevertheless just in case you have not, I would like you and your readers to know that Flying Scotsman has travelled on the Worth Valley line before.

I was given the attached photo as a gift. Early morning on February 20, 1980, this loco visited the Worth Valley Railway in connection with some filming at Keighley station.

It ran light engine to Haworth for coaling and is seen here passing through Oakworth station.

I do hope this proves to be of interest.
