We are delighted to announce the launch of the brand new Great Central Railway Nottingham website — and we couldn't have picked a more exciting time to do it.
This weekend marks the arrival of the legendary Flying Scotsman on our line, following a spectacular turn from the equally iconic 60163 Tornado just last weekend. Two of the most celebrated steam locomotives in Britain, here at Great Central Railway Nottingham — back to back. It doesn't get much better than that.
Thousands of visitors joined us last weekend to witness Tornado in full cry along our eight miles of preserved Great Central Main Line, and the atmosphere was simply electric. The power, the sound, and the sheer spectacle of a modern-era steam giant in action left our passengers and lineside visitors with memories to last a lifetime.
Now, as the steam settles on Tornado's visit, we welcome the world-famous Flying Scotsman — arguably the most recognised locomotive on the planet — for what promises to be another unmissable weekend of heritage railway magic. Whether you're a lifelong enthusiast or bringing the family for their very first steam experience, this is a moment not to be missed.
Tickets are in high demand, so we strongly encourage booking in advance to avoid disappointment. Full details on timings, fares, and how to book can be found right here on our brand new website — designed to make planning your visit easier than ever.
From everyone here at Great Central Railway Nottingham — thank you for your incredible support. We'll see you on the platform!
All aboard!
