Event Information
The Great Central Railway, Nottingham, in partnership with Fox & Edwards Events, will host the legendary Flying Scotsman in May 2026 as the centrepiece of the railway’s relaunch following several years of non-operation.
The flying Scotsman, probably the most famous steam locomotive in the world. Completed in 1923 the flying Scotsman became the flagship locomotive of the London North Eastern Railway company, and represented the company at the British Empire exhibition in 1924 and 1925. The flying Scotsman fame grew in 1928 when the locomotive hauled the first non-stop, 392 mile run from London to Edinburgh. A year later the flying Scotsman appeared in the 1929 black-and-white film named the flying Scotsman. The flying Scotsman’s fame became immortalised when in 1934 it became the first steam locomotive in the history of the world to be officially recorded at the speed of 100 mph.
