The National Railway Museum is today delighted to announce that the museum has reached agreement with Flying Scotsman’s custodian, Northern Steam Operations Limited (NSOL), on future arrangements for the locomotive and how the two parties will work together in the future.
The agreement reflects the hard work that NSOL have put in over the past months to contract operating and promoter teams. NSOL has held productive conversations with various heritage railways, and Flying Scotsman is likely to be back in steam as early as February 2025.
A further announcement will be made once the details of Flying Scotsman’s future schedule have been finalised.
