The new regulations from the rail watchdog state that all trains on the main line should have central locking to improve safety
The legendary Flying Scotsman could be forced off mainstream rail lines for the first time in 100 years as a result of new safety rules.
The ORR says the modern system is safer as it stops passengers from opening doors on occasions when the platform is too short. West Coast Railways is hoping to have the rules reviewed. The Flying Scotsman was constructed in the early 1920s for the London and North Eastern Railway . It is regarded as a piece of living history and an icon of UK engineering.
