The famous Royal Scot steam train will call at Bangor station this afternoon. The 90 year old steam train is due in Bangor Station at 4.20pm departing Bangor at 4.36pm

After travelling from Chester to Holyhead this morning, The Royal Scot is scheduled to leave Holyhead at 3.55pm and will make stops at Bangor and Llandudno Junction before arriving back at Chester shortly after 6pm.

Built in 1927, Royal Scot was the flagship locomotive of the London Midland and Scottish Railway Company, operating the fastest services on the West Coast from London to Manchester and Glasgow, weighing 85 Tons and capable of 75 miles per hour.

The train was withdrawn from service in 1962 and was on display at Butlins holiday camp in Skegness. The locomotive was returned to steam in 1972 and ran until 1978, when it once more became a static exhibit. After a five year overhaul she returned to steam on the mainline in 2016.
