The Royal Scot is a documentary that takes you on a unique journey along the West Coast Main Line. It’s fascinating how it was originally split into two parts on video cassette, which adds to its charm. The first part focuses on the Euston to Preston leg, capturing the thrill of a non-stop run at 110 mph with the classic class 87 electric locomotive. The pacing feels almost like a train ride itself – steady, immersive, and reflective. You get a real sense of the landscape, the engineering, and those moments of stillness as you race through the English countryside. It’s a bit of a niche piece but showcases the beauty of railway travel and the nostalgia of these older engines, which are now mostly retired. Quite an experience if you appreciate the finer details of rail transport.
