Flying Scotsman heads for Hampshire

The operators of the famous steam locomotive have confirmed that it will run here on May 31 and on June 3 as part of its UK schedule.

It’s a return to the county for the Flying Scotsman, which ran sell-out trips in Hampshire in 2016 after returning to the tracks for the first time in 10 years after a refit.

Its tw-hour Hampshire trips will start and finish at Salisbury and follow a non-stop route through Romsey, Southampton and Eastleigh.
