Return of the Flying Scotsman.

Not a train buff but my son did get a nice Hornby commemorative version of 4472 with the double tender a long time ago for his birthday.

 

She is going to be completely repainted in Feb once tests are concluded, BR Green.

SDP - I believe I own the carriage set that went with the Ltd Ed of 4472.

This is a temporary livery. As mentioned above the familiar green finish will be applied before it begins mainline service later in the year. It certainly looked magnificent when I went to see it today at Bury Bolton Street station.

 

That sounds more encouraging. Green as in LNER or British Rail? 4472 or 60103?

 

It arrives in Worcester at 11-50 am today (15/6/2019) and leaves at 4-30 pm. After leaving Worcester the train will take the Cotswold line to Oxford, passing through Evesham, Honeybourne, Morrton-in-Marsh, and Charlbury before heading to Oxford.
From there the service rejoins it's earlier route at Didcot before heading to Reading,Slough,and London Paddington.

Nice photo's Owen.

I will be travelling on that service Monday, returning Wednesday.
