The Flying Scotsman Train Journey

Built in 1923 by the LNER, 'Flying Scotsman' has had a lengthy and varied history; from performing the first non-stop run between London and Edinburgh in 1928 to breaking the record in 1934. Even after retirement in 1963, the story continued with the locomotive being overhauled in time to celebrate 40 years since the non-stop run with a recreation in 1968.

 

You will also have the pleasure of viewing the new build superstar Tornado Locomotive.  Andy Fillingham of Great Centre Railway (Nottingham) said that it is going to be an extraordinary moment for the northern section of the GCR to have both Locomotives up close.
