Still using steam? Or is this a throw back?
No we have progressed to Diesel and Electric, steam trains are used for special occasions. The Flying Scotsman has recently been resurected and is being used in England for the same purpose.

No idea what you mean, perhaps that's why the driver is looking out.
Apparently the driver is the owner and bought it years ago and brought it back to life. I do know that on the return journey it had to be pulled with a diesel as it couldn't push the carriages back up the line, and there was no turning point at the end for it to turn round.

The Queen opened a new rail line from Edinburgh to the Borders in September 2015 and this is the train that she travelled in.
