PEOPLE can catch a glimpse of the Flying Scotsman locomotive this Friday (March 31) after it leaves Oxenhope for its journey along the Settle to Carlisle line.

The historic steam engine is due to leave Oxenhope Station at 8.30am on Friday.

Subsequent times and stations are: Haworth 8.35am, Keighley 9.15am and Skipton 9.45am before the train arrives at Hellifield at 10.08am then departs this station at 10.45am.

It is due to reach Settle Junction at 10.53am before moving further into the Dales towards Carlisle.

People wanting to watch and take photos of the passing steam engine have been warned not to trespass on either the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, (K&WVR) Network Rail land or on adjacent private property.
