Train enthusiasts are preparing to catch sight of Flying Scotsman set to depart from Bristol on Sunday (April 30). The world famous train, hauled by locomotive No.60103 will leave Bristol Temple Meads for its Royal Duchy trip and make its journey down west into Cornwall before returning to Bristol.
A spokesperson for the Railway Touring Company - which operates the Flying Scotsman - said that the train will depart from Bristol Temple Meads before picking up new passengers at Yatton and Taunton, continuing down through the Westcountry. It will stop at Exeter St David’s station so the locomotive can take on water and passengers before heading to the famous sea wall at Dawlish as well as crossing Brunel’s famous Saltash Bridge into Cornwall.
Timings have not been released to the public due to safety concerns and prevent overcrowding. People should take extra care if they're planning to catch a glimpse of the locomotive at a railway station or bridge and ensure everyone is safe around you.
