Flying Scotsman at Rushcliffe Halt – there’s still time to see it on Sunday 31 May

For those that want to see the iconic Flying Scotsman, it is not too late.

It will run on Sunday 31 May.

Go to Rushcliffe Halt near East Leake, wardens show you to the free car park. The electronic payment machines weren’t working today so take cash too, it’s just £3 for the charity working to restore the line for visitors and the museum at Rushcliffe Country Park.

There are plenty of toilets and refreshments at the station.

Flying Scotsman is expected at the station between 09:20 – 09:30, 11:20 – 11:30, 13:20 – 13:30, 15:20 – 15:30 and 17:20 – 17:30.

Free parking (thanks to British Gypsum Saint Gobain and Rushcliffe Golf Course), light refreshments and just £3 for a platform tickets for those over 12.

About half an hour after each timed appearance above during which it stops at the station, it returns pulled by a diesel locomotive and doesn’t stop, but still fun to see it twice.
