The people's engine returns!
We're thrilled to announce the visit of the magnificent LNER Class A3 60103 "Flying Scotsman" to the East Lancashire Railway.
This record-breaking engine is making a long anticipated return to our line, so don't miss out on this rare opportunity to see the People's Engine up close.
First entering service in 1923, Flying Scotsman became a British icon, representing the very best of steam-era innovation. She was the first steam locomotive that was officially recorded at 100 miles per hour, and a century later she still attracts worldwide attention.
Her journey has not always been easy – having narrowly escaped being scrapped during the Beeching cuts to multiple ownerships, global tours and painstaking restorations.
Through it all, Scotsman has remained a beloved part of the country's heritage.
The ELR has been privileged to play a key part in that story, being the site of Scotsman's historic restoration. Since then her visits have drawn record numbers.
