SUMMARY:The Flying Scotsman at the ELR
DESCRIPTION:The people’s engine returns! \n\n\n\nWe’re thrilled to announce the visit of the magnificent LNER Class A3 60103 “Flying Scotsman” to the East Lancashire Railway. \n\n\n\nThis record-breaking engine is making a long anticipated return to our line\, so don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to see the People’s Engine up close. \n\n\n\nFirst entering service in 1923\, Flying Scotsman became a British icon\, representing the very best of steam-era innovation. She was the first steam locomotive that was officially recorded at 100 miles per hour\, and a century later she still attracts worldwide attention. \n\n\n\nHer journey has not always been easy – having narrowly escaped being scrapped during the Beeching cuts to multiple ownerships\, global tours and painstaking restorations. \n\n\n\nThrough it all\, Scotsman has remained a beloved part of the country’s heritage. \n\n\n\nThe ELR has been privileged to play a key part in that story\, being the site of Scotsman’s historic restoration. Since then her visits have drawn record numbers. \n\n\n\nRide behind Flying Scotsman \n\n\n\n5\, 6\, 7\, 13\, 14 June 2026 \n\n\n\nTake a trip behind the legendary Flying Scotman along the entirety of the ELR line. The legendary locomotive will be hosting passenger rides\, giving enthusiasts the unforgettable opportunity to travel behind this world-famous engine. \n\n\n\nPlease note that this train can only be boarded at Bury Station\, and the journey takes around an hour and a half and is non-stop with no opportunity to alight at any of our other stations. \n\n\n\nTICKETPRICEBOOK NOWAdult£42.50Book NowAdult + Under 2£42.50Book NowYoung Person (16-17)£35.50Book NowChild (2-15)£30.50Book NowChild U2 seated£30.50Book NowCompartment Booking (up to 8 People)£350.00Book Now\n\n\n\nScotsman on Static Display \n\n\n\nDisplay at Bury – 4\, 11\, 12 June 2026 \n\n\n\nFor those who prefer a closer look\, the Flying Scotsman will be on static display at Bury Station\, offering the perfect chance to admire her.

SUMMARY:The Flying Scotsman at the ELR
DESCRIPTION:The people’s engine returns! \n\n\n\nWe’re thrilled to announce the visit of the magnificent LNER Class A3 60103 “Flying Scotsman” to the East Lancashire Railway. \n\n\n\nThis record-breaking engine is making a long anticipated return to our line\, so don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to see the People’s Engine up close. \n\n\n\nFirst entering service in 1923\, Flying Scotsman became a British icon\, representing the very best of steam-era innovation. She was the first steam locomotive that was officially recorded at 100 miles per hour\, and a century later she still attracts worldwide attention. \n\n\n\nHer journey has not always been easy – having narrowly escaped being scrapped during the Beeching cuts to multiple ownerships\, global tours and painstaking restorations. \n\n\n\nThrough it all\, Scotsman has remained a beloved part of the country’s heritage. \n\n\n\nThe ELR has been privileged to play a key part in that story\, being the site of Scotsman’s historic restoration. Since then her visits have drawn record numbers. \n\n\n\nRide behind Flying Scotsman \n\n\n\n5\, 6\, 7\, 13\, 14 June 2026 \n\n\n\nTake a trip behind the legendary Flying Scotman along the entirety of the ELR line.
