    We would like to travel from London to Edinburgh by the Flying Scotsman. Visit EDI for afew days and go back to London by the Flying Scotsman again. Where can I find the schedules and prices? (3 people.)

      Hi Terry this is currently not an option we have on sale unfortunately. However we might release some seats from London to Edinburgh (one way) with Flying Scotsman. Call us on 01483209888 or email info@steamdreams.co.uk to be added to the interest list.

    thank you Claire. Does this mean that the Flying Scotsman goes one way only, London to Edinburgh but not back from EDI to LDN.?

      Hi Terry that’s correct; the trip returns on 17 May from Penrith to London Euston (via the West Coast Mainline) with Mayflower (a different steam engine).
