See the Flying Scotsman in London during 2019

The dates for tours by the world famous steam train, the Flying Scotsman during 2019 have been announced, and it’s possible to be on the train as it travels around the UK.

As considerably more people watch from the sidelines than pay to be on board, I’ve listed the London visits below.

The railway people like to remind bystanders to be careful and not to trespass on the tracks to get a better photo — as it’s surprising how many do that sort of dangerous thing. Watch from sensible safe locations – platforms, railway bridges and the like.

Or even better, book a ticket to be onboard itself.

If you fancy the top end prices as a treat, the day-trips are in effect a first-class steam powered mobile restaurant, so you’re paying for the journey, and lunch or supper. After all, without paying passengers, the train can’t run, and then bystanders have no one to wave at as you roar past sipping a glass of wine.
