A world-famous steam train featured in Top Gear and Paddington 2 will be making excursions through Bristol this year. Tornado will be tearing through the city collecting passengers from Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Parkway for two trips, offering an experience of the 'Golden Age of travel'.
This news comes after it was announced that Flying Scotsman will be pulling up into Bristol Temple Meads for the first time in many years. The last time the historic train passed through the city was in 2018 on its way from Exeter - and it will be pulling up on Sunday (April 30).
The No. 60163 locomotive was launched just 15 years ago and is the first mainline steam train built in the UK since 1960. Since 2008, the locomotive has made history by running over 100,000 miles, hauling royal trains and reaching 100mph - the only steam train to have reached that speed in over 50 years.
