SUPPORT COACH TOUR

Take a look behind the scenes at the support coach which travels with Flying Scotsman.

This is a rare chance to see the reality behind the glamour of the famous locomotive, see the locomotives crew’s domain and learn more about its history. One of our knowledgeable guides will show you where the crew work and relax, taking in the workshop and seating areas, both crucial to keep Flying Scotsman moving and the crew working.

Tickets are available on the day from Locomotion and cannot be prebooked online.

Suitable for age 7+. Participants under the age of 12 must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.

Participants must be able to climb steps and walk through the coach. Tours last approximately 15 minutes.

Please arrive at the Support Coach at least 10 minutes before the tour begins. Latecomers may not be admitted.

Please note that the Support Coach is a working rail operations environment, and your clothes could come into contact with oil, soot and dirt. We recommend wearing sturdy non-heeled footwear. The museum will not be responsible for any damage to clothing or footwear during the experience.
