Journey Details and Timings
The route will take passengers through the countryside, arriving at Bristol Temple Meads at 10.50am, with the journey lasting three and a half hours. Passengers will have the day to explore Bristol before the return service departs at 7.40pm, arriving back in Stourbridge at 10.30pm.

Historic Significance of the Flying Scotsman

"Sit back and watch the sights race by as Flying Scotsman powers the train through the landscape," the spokesman added.
