蒸汽火车重返铁轨 自动播放
  This is the moment steam enthusiasts have been waiting for: the moment Flying Scotsman, in its classic green livery, and with steam pouring from its chimney, thunders back onto the East Coast Main Line, where it made its name.


  Passengers, who’ve paid up to £450 a ticket, are enjoying a champagne breakfast in vintage carriages.


  The historic engine won’t be setting any speed records today: safety rules mean it’s restricted to 45 miles an hour.


  It’s due into York around midday, where it will be kept in the National Railway Museum.

  False. The carriages are 'vintage' which means old but in good condition.


  3. Which word means 'limited'? 'Restricted' has a similar meaning to 'limited'.
