The Flying Scotsman returns to the tracks in the near future following its restoration. The National Railway Museum, the steam engine’s retirement home, is planning a season of events and activities from February 2016 at the York and Shildon museums to celebrate the return of the locomotive legend.

Flying Scotsman is scheduled to make its inaugural run between London Kings Cross and York in February 2016. An exhibition dedicated to the Flying Scotsman and its colourful history will run from February to June 2016 in York.

If the Flying Scotsman is required as a backdrop for a conference or banquet then the National Railway Museum at York has a comprehensive range of facilities both inside and outside. There are six meeting rooms accommodating up to 140 delegates and dining options in railway carriages, the Great Hall and the largest space at the museum - the Station Hall - seating up to 800 guests for a dinner.
