A legendary old-fashioned steam train will be touring around London train stations this June. To mark its centenary, the Flying Scotsman will be travelling around town for a whole month, so there will be plenty of opportunities to spot it.
The Flying Scotsman will run round trips from various London stations throughout June. Most tickets to ride the train on its excursions have sold out, but you’ll still be able to spot it in stations and along the routes if you’re standing in the right place.
Now one of the most famous trains in the world, the A1 steam train first hit the railroads in 1862. Its special outings are taking place this year to celebrate the locomotive’s centenary.
If you want to catch a glimpse of the old fella, here’s where you should go.
