Overview

We take the opportunity to enjoy a walk in the Gotham/Bunny/Ruddington area and at the same time welcome views of the Flying Scotsman in full steam as it travels between Ruddington and Loughborough along the Great Central Railway celebrating the opening of the link at Loughborough with the remains of the Great Central Railway experience. We take a close inspection of the Flying Scotsman at the Nottingham Transport Centre Ruddington.
