All aboard in Bury - The Flying Scotsman is on track.

Bury & "The Flying Scotsman"

This record-breaking engine is making a long anticipated return to the East Lancashire Railway, so don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to see the People’s Engine up close.

Experience the thrill of railway history come to life with the Flying Scotsman in Bury.

Ride behind the world-famous steam locomotive as it thunders through East Lancashire, filling the air with steam, sound, and nostalgia. From polished brass to powerful motion, this iconic engine promises an unforgettable day out for families, enthusiasts, and anyone ready to be swept away by the magic of steam travel.

First entering service in 1923, the 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 years later she still attracts worldwide attention.

Her journey has not always been easy – having narrowly escaped being scrapped during the Beeching cuts to multiple ownerships, global tours and painstaking restorations.

Through it all, Scotsman has remained a beloved part of the country’s heritage.

The East Lancashire Railway has been privileged to play a key part in that story, being the site of Scotsman’s historic restoration.
