Searching for holidays...
Don’t miss the chance to get up close to the fastest steam train of all time – the Flying Scotsman with National Holidays.
See this legendary feat of British engineering in all its splendour with National Holidays, which provide the unique chance to experience the coals fired up once again, step on the footplate and even climb on board the carriages for an exclusive journey.
Built in Doncaster and launched in 1923, the Scotsman is one of the most powerful locomotives to ever journey on Britain’s railways, a symbol of express travel which captured the nation’s hearts.
The Flying Scotsman enjoyed an illustrious career. In 1928 it grabbed the headlines for being the first train to run a non-stop service from London to Edinburgh in just eight hours. Six years later on a special test run it was the first steam train to reach 100mph.
During its career the Flying Scotsman clocked up more than 2,000,000 miles. Needless to say the restoration of the ‘people’s engine’ required a bit more than a lick of paint, rather a complete overhaul during an extensive full scale restoration project. Now restored to its former glory, it offers travellers the perfect opportunity to experience the golden age of steam!
