"LNER is reviving the historic service. In a nod to its early days, trains will now depart from Edinburgh at 10am and from London at 10.30am."
"Starting on May 18, the new departures will use LNER Azuma trains. The London service will set off from King's Cross, calling at York, Newcastle, and Edinburgh Waverley."
"If you happen to snag a trip on the first train out, expect to mark the occasion in proper Scottish style with in-station performances and a special onboard selection of haggis, neeps and tatties."
LNER is restoring the iconic Flying Scotsman timetable, with new departures set for 10am from Edinburgh and 10.30am from London starting May 18. The service will utilize LNER Azuma trains, calling at key stations like York and Newcastle. To celebrate the revival, there will be performances by The Red Hot Chilli Pipers and a special Scottish-themed menu for first-class passengers. The Flying Scotsman service is distinct from the famous steam train of the same name, which reached 100mph.
