Description
The People's Engine, A3 60103 'Flying Scotsman', makes a hotly anticipated return to the East Lancashire Railway in Spring 2021.
Reserve your place in history (and bragging rights too) with a ride behind the world's most famous steam engine, 'Flying Scotsman', as she takes to the tracks through the picturesque Irwell Valley.
This was a sell out in 2019 on the Nene Valley Railway, so be sure to book early to guarantee your place.
