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.

 

We start our day with a visit to Thornton le Dale, home to TV's 'Bangers & Cash' family-run classic car auction business, The Mathewsons! We then travel to Grosmont for aprroximately 2pm to ensure our passengers have time to look around and have photo opportunities with the Train at the station. We are travelling on the 3pm train with the journey run time being 180 minutes in total.
