The Flying Scotsman is returning to the East Lancashire Railway this March to celebrate 100 years of service.

The famous engine entered into service 100 years ago and will be travelling around the country as part of the centenary celebrations.

Since the iconic locomotive entered service back in 1923 it has been a remarkable roller coaster adventure of highs and lows, with record breaking milestones.

There are tickets available to go on a static tour of the Flying Scotsman at Bury Bolton Street Railway Station on March 9 and can be booked half hourly.

Tickets are also available to take a trip on the engine between Bury and Rawtenstall as well as an immersive dining experience.

People can book to take a ride on the engine from March 11 to 19.

The price includes a one-time round trip on Flying Scotsman, between Bury and Rawtenstall and back to Bury, unlimited travel on all other services on a chosen date full length of the line between Heywood, Bury, Ramsbottom and Rawtenstall and also free entry into Bury Transport Museum.

For the dining experience, people can expect fabulous food, delicious drinks and an excellent evening all around.

Arriving for 6.45pm, you’ll be taken to luxury reserved seats with plush furnishings, crisp table linen and polished wooden panelling – all combined to convey a glamorous, first-class dining experience.

A "two and three quarter hour" four course dining experience will be served while travelling through the Irwell Valley.

The evening rounds off with the serving of tea or coffee and after dinner chocolates.

The dates for this are March 11, 12,17 and 18.
