The thrill of travelling behind the world-famous London & North Railway A3 Class Pacific Flying Scotsman at main line speed on the national railway network is on offer for three days in February.

Vintage Trains has organised the special event, with Flying Scotsman making five return trips from Birmingham Moor Street station on Wednesday, 18th, Thursday, 19th, and Friday, 20th February. Journeys depart from Birmingham Moor Street station every two hours, with the first departure at 10.30 am and the last one at 6.30 pm.

By travelling on the national railway network, Flying Scotsman will show passengers what it is capable of, and allow them to experience the thrill of travelling behind a steam locomotive at around three times faster than on heritage railways.

Accommodation will be in First or Standard Class. The First Class carriages date from the 1960s, and all guests will be welcomed with a glass of Prosecco or a soft drink, and there will be grazing snacks throughout the journey. Standard Class accommodation is in comfortable seating at tables for four. A Buffet Car will be available during the journey.

Standard Class tickets cost £48.76, First Class at tables of up to 4 people cost £80.66, and First Class at a guaranteed table for two people cost £177.02.

Flying Scotsman will also be performing at various heritage railways in 2026, including at the Mid Hants Railway in March and the East Lancashire Railway in June.
