There's an interesting distinction between 'The Flying Scotsman' and 'A Flying Scotsman'.

From The Independent
An iconic British rail service will return to London for the first time in years.
Rail operator LNER will reinstate a Flying Scotsman service from London’s King's Cross more than 100 years after it began operating.
A daily service – using LNER Azuma trains – will now depart from both Edinburgh and London at 10am and 10.30am respectively.
Historically, the Flying Scotsman operated two simultaneous 10am departures from London King’s Cross and the Scottish capital.

A name change/addition to existing services, or something new?
