Sunset Scotsman


Be part of a very special and exclusive journey behind Flying Scotsman.

Join us in the Victorian splendour of Sheffield Park Station for a reception of Pimms and canapes served from 5.30pm, then step on board to travel behind the iconic and much-loved locomotive through 11 miles of beautiful Sussex countryside.

Departure is at 6.15pm, so there will be time to get up close and see the engine at Sheffield Park Station and get that all important photograph before you depart on the non-stop, return trip to East Grinstead. Starting in daylight, your 1 hour 40-minute trip ends in sunset - giving the perfect opportunity to experience steam by summer day and atmospheric nightfall. We recommend arriving early to make the most of your visit. Upon your return the Bessemer Arms will be open for sundowners!

You can chose your seats when you book online. This service will be popular, and every seat will be taken, so please don't expect not to share a table unless you have booked and paid for all four seats. What a perfect time to make new friends over a glass of Pimms!

With your Sunset Scotsman ticket, you can also enjoy travelling on our earlier home-fleet services on the day of your visit for free. Why not make a day or it and visit the museum, locomotive shed, SteamWorks! and the other beautiful period stations on the Bluebell Railway? Warning! There will be no services to East Grinstead Station after the Sunset Scotsman, so start and finish your day at Sheffield Park Station, unless you have booked yourself a taxi home! There is plenty of free parking at Sheffield Park Station.
