The world’s most famous steam locomotive, ‘Flying Scotsman, has been travelling the country for the last year, drawing thousands of admiring glances having returned to action after a long and protracted overhaul. Now it is time for the people of West Yorkshire to witness this magnificent locomotive. The ‘Flying Scotsman’ is to make an appearance at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway from the 1st April until 9th April 2017. The City of Leeds Pipe Band will be there from its arrival on 31st March and over the weekend.

At Ingrow West Station on Saturday 1st & Sunday 2nd April ‘Flying Scotsman’ will be on display and in steam in Ingrow Station Yard.
The Ingrow Station site will only have pedestrian access or visitors should travel by train from one of the other KWVR stations as the entrance to the car park and yard from South Street / Halifax Road will be closed for vehicular access, as car parking will be suspended for the weekend.

“Flying Scotsman Experience”
The “Flying Scotsman Experience” allows access to the locomotive itself and includes a 15 minute interpretive talk about the loco followed by a walk through the cab and, if you so wish, the tender, following in the footsteps of generations of enginemen who passed through on their journey at speed from Kings Cross to Edinburgh.
