A luxury train journey combining the famous Flying Scotsman and what's described as the Orient Express of the North is promising to creatre lifelong memories for passengers who bag tickets for the double treat this September.
The Flying Scotsman marks its centenary this year and a trip from Darlington to Edinburgh is on offer this summer as part of the locomotive’s anniversary celebrations. The journey - which will see it pull the Northern Belle, once part of the iconic Orient Express group said to be Britain's most luxurious train - is expected to be a fast sell-out.
At £695 a ticket, it is quite some treat but a Northern Belle spokesman said: “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. It’s not every day you get to travel on one of the world’s most luxurious trains while being hauled by the world’s most famous locomotive.
