Watch: The Flying Scotsman’s tour of Britain explained as loco heads south this weekend

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.
