Ride Flying Scotsman the way it was built to run.

This February, you have the first opportunity this year to travel behind Flying Scotsman at mainline speed. Not a heritage railway. Not a static display.

This is the real thing.

Departing from Birmingham Moor Street, right in the heart of the city, you’ll be seated directly behind the world’s most famous steam locomotive as it takes to the national rail network and opens up. Fast, loud, and unforgettable.

With express speeds around three times faster than heritage railways, this is Flying Scotsman as it was meant to be experienced.

These services run for just three days during February half term, with a strictly limited number of seats on each departure. Once they’re gone, there will be no further chances this year.
