To mark the 100 year anniversary of the now famous locomotive, The Flying Scotsman will visit various places across the country
It has been 100 years since one the world's most famous locomotives, The Flying Scotsman, was first built.
In celebration of this historic milestone, the iconic train will also be visiting various heritage railways and taking part in a number of day excursions throughout the year to mark its centenary year, so fans can catch a glimpse of it for themselves. It's already visited a number of places including Edinburgh's Waverley station, and the National Railway Museum, York.
The express passenger train first entered service on 24 February 1923. It was designed by chief engineer Nigel Gresley and built at Doncaster's London North Eastern Railway works, known locally in South Yorkshire as the Plant, however, it is now owned by the National Railway Museum.
Along with visits to railways across the country, there will also be a programme of events happening at the National Railway Museum in York, North Yorkshire, to mark 100 years since the first journey of the famous train. All of these events will begin in March, with the full programme running until December.
So, just where will The Flying Scotsman be and when and how can you get tickets? Here's everything you need to know.
Visitors to the National Railway Museum will be able to discover new stories about Flying Scotsman in their special centenary exhibition. Guests will travel through time and share the engine's greatest moments in a brand-new cutting-edge VR experience also, so they can feel what it was like to travel on one of those maiden journeys.
An exhibition, called Flying Scotsman: 100 Years, 100 Voices, will also be on display. It will showcase documents, photographs and stories from the museum's archives as well as from a recent public call-out. All tell a story of people whose lives have been impacted by the locomotive.
