Safety waning issued to trainspotters

Those planning on venturing out to see The Flying Scotsman on its journey, however, are being warned to do so at a safe distance.

A spokesperson for The Railway Touring Company said: “We appreciate there is considerable interest in locomotive 60103 Flying Scotsman, but stress that anyone wishing to see Flying Scotsman hauling ‘The Flying Scotsman Centenary Weekender’ train should do so from a safe and permitted place – trespassing along rail lines or into prohibited areas of railway stations is dangerous.

“It is vital that spectators do not venture onto the railway when Flying Scotsman is hauling ‘The Flying Scotsman Centenary Weekender’ train on the mainline as a full timetable of regular services will also be running. For safety, keep away from the railway line.”

Trespassing along rail lines or into prohibited areas of railway stations is dangerous.”
