Flying Scotsman comes to Didcot Railway Centre

About

The most famous steam engine in the world - Flying Scotsman - comes to Didcot Railway Centre.

On the anniversary of the iconic Flying Scotsman and Pendennis Castle first meeting 100 years ago, we are delighted to be welcoming them to Didcot.

These locomotives will appear for photographic opportunities today and will be lined up outside our engine shed. Visit our exhibition about the two engines and explore the history behind these iconic engines.

On display days, why not take the chance to visit the footplate of the engines and discover how these operate (additional charge applies). Chat to our crews about a typical day in the life of a driver or fireman and take some amazing photographs on the footplate as you take time to explore their unique history.

Explore the sights, sounds and smells of steam as you explore this 21-acre living museum with trains dating from Victorian times to the 1960s.

Visit the Refreshment Room for hot and cold food and snacks. A range of souvenirs will be on sale in our Shop.

Tickets must be booked in advance.

Last admission 2.30 pm.
