As a piece of history it is an iconic piece of engineering and its great it has been restored to its former glory. As owners of iconic bikes we can appreciate the sentiment. As a train driver on the coast line its an absolute nightmare every time it goes out! The amount of people who put themselves at risk to get a photo is unbelievable. When they are looking one way to get their shot and I'm coming the other at 125mph its only a matter of time before there is a tragedy. Trains are being regularly stopped because of people on or near the line and I can see network rail restricting the times it goes on the mainline because of the disruption. Be safe!
