Exciting news for anyone who loves steam engines. The West Somerset Railway along with two other heritage lines, The Bluebell Railway and Keighley and Worth
Valley has announced it will be hosting the
world's most famous steam locomotive LNER 4-6-2 no 60103 Flying Scotsman
at the beginning of September 2017. After weeks of judging, the heritage railways selected were
informed on Friday 18 November after a selection process undertaken by
the National Railway Museum in partnership with Riley & Son (E) Ltd.
Paul Conibeare, General Manager at West Somerset Railway, said:
"We're proud to have been selected as one of only three heritage railways
to host Flying Scotsman in 2017 and are looking forward to promoting a
successful and safe event".
Tickets will be for sale from the middle of February, so if you are planning a holiday in September 2017, look at the WSR website for further details.
