Flying Scotsman, the famous heritage locomotive, will be displayed at the National Railway Museum this October half term as part of its 100th anniversary celebrations.
Director of National Railway Museum, Judith McNicol, said: “Flying Scotsman’s centenary is a fantastic opportunity for the public to see this world-famous locomotive, and we’re delighted that it will be on display on the turntable during the busy half term season.
“Visitors will be given a rare 360-degree view of the locomotive each day as part of a free museum admission ticket.” During October half term, the museum’s largest ever family-focussed interactive experience Wonderlab: The Bramall Gallery, will be open after welcoming more than 23,000 visitors since it opened in the summer.
The interactive gallery includes 18 hands-on exhibits with a goal to inspire and spark curiosity in railways and engineering. During the half term, visitors will be able to see a live science show as part of the general entry ticket, including new show Streamlined by Design, which investigates the force of air resistance and how shape affects speed. Tickets for Wonderlab: The Bramall Gallery can be booked on the museum’s website.
