Flying Scotsman Services

As part of our Railway 200 celebrations, don’t miss your chance to ride behind one of Britain’s icons from the golden age of steam. No. 60103 Flying Scotsman will be in action at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway between Grosmont and Pickering this late-autumn, courtesy of the National Railway Museum and Northern Steam Operations Ltd.

Your booking is for a seat-allocated return journey from Grosmont to Pickering behind Flying Scotsman. Other non-seat-allocated services between Pickering/Grosmont and Whitby, hauled by different locomotives, will be running on the date of your visit. You're welcome to board these services with your Flying Scotsman ticket and explore the full length of our line if you wish.

Flying Scotsman, built in 1923 at Doncaster and numbered 60103, is one of the most iconic steam locomotives in the world. Designed by Sir Nigel Gresley, it became the first UK loco to reach 100 mph and holds a long-distance steam record in Australia. After retirement in 1963, it was preserved and later restored by the National Railway Museum. In 2023, during its centenary year, Flying Scotsman made history once again by hauling the Royal Train along the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to Pickering, proudly carrying King Charles III on a memorable journey through our stunning heritage landscape.
