One of the world's most famous trains is preparing to take its first test run after a decade off the tracks. Engineers in Bury have restored the Flying Scotsman, which was built in Doncaster in 1923. Later today the steam locomotive will carry out low-speed test runs along the East Lancashire Railway.
