King’s Cross was on of the termini of the London & North Eastern Railway(LNER), serving the North of England and Scotland, and Eastern Region of British Railways. The Flying Scotsman was a locomotive built to run on the LNER and would most likely be seen at King’s Cross station. On your trip from South Wales to London most likely you would have arrived at Paddington station as yo would hve travelled on the Western Region of British Railways in 1949 or 1950. The Great Western and the London and North Eastern railways were nationalized in 1948, as did the London, Midland & scottish Railway and the Southern Railway. The Flying Scotsman also made a trip to the United States in 1968 Here is a Youtube video

Flying Scotsman the locomotive, 103 or 60103 was working out of Marylebone station London to Nottingham and Sheffield in 1950.

The Engine certainly was the attraction and we should be grateful as I doubt whether it would come to Australia again.

“Long Live the Scotsman”
