Flying Scotsman steaming into Lincolnshire this weekend

It will travel through various county viewing points

It will be full steam ahead as the Flying Scotsman travels into Lincolnshire this weekend as part of a nationwide tour.

As previously reported, the 1923 locomotive is back again on Saturday, June 23 as it hauls the Scarborough Flyer through various viewing points in the county in Gainsborough, Lincoln, Sleaford and Spalding.

The Flying Scotsman was greeted by hundreds of people as it pulled into Lincoln on the hottest day of the year back in April.

Onlookers were relieved to see the locomotive pull into Lincoln Central Station after being disappointed by last year’s no show.
