IN anothermajorfirstinitsproud100- year history, Flying Scotsman was crewed by an all-female team for three round trips on the East Lancashire Railway to mark InternationalWomen’s Day on March 8.
The ground-breaking crew comprised three ELR volunteers in Linda Henderson, Charlotte Instance and Steph Elwood, along with Beth Furness from Network Rail, who drove the A3.
Linda began volunteering at the ELR in 1993 at just 14 years old, along with her mum and younger brother.
