Berkshire rail enthusiasts and bemused commuters were treated to a rare sight last Wednesday, when the Flying Scotsman, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, passed through Twyford (pictured) and Reading last week on its way from Paddington to Cardiff.
It shot to fame in 1934 when it became the first steam locomotive to record a speed of 100mph
The Flying Scotsman is set to be seen against in Berkshire next week when it hauls the Salisbury Express through the royal county.
Network Rail have stressed the importance of remaining safe.
A spokesperson said: “Seeing The Flying Scotsman is an exciting event for many people and we want everyone to be able to enjoy the occasion”.
