The Flying Scotsman is coming to Greater Manchester and tickets are on sale now
Great news!
The Flying Scotsman is set to return to Greater Manchester next year.
Once voted the best-known train in the world, The Flying Scotsman will be on display at the heritage line which runs from Heywood, through Bury to Rawtenstall.
The popular train was forced to cancel its events this year during the Covid-19 pandemic putting a pause on the planned visits to East Lancs.
Now, the train will be heading to Greater Manchester from April 2nd to April 6th.
In a statement, released when Covid struck, ELR wrote: “Once again, we are hosting the most iconic steam locomotive, with the return of The Flying Scotsman.
“This celebrated locomotive will be the star attraction in an Easter weekend to celebrate steam’s golden age.
“Ticketholders for these special services will also be able to make unlimited journeys on the standard timetabled trains on the day of their visit.”
