In view of the large number of visitors likely to be coming to Taunton Deane and West Somerset, the organisers are keen to identify supplementary parking in the area.
Anyone who owns land that has the potential for safe, dry car parking, including at a disused office block or factory, is asked to contact Colin Howard, head of commercial services at the West Somerset Railway, on 01643 700383 or [email protected].
Details of ticket sales and how to see the Flying Scotsman will be announced in January, with tickets on sale from February 16.
The visit has been arranged following agreement with the National Railway Museum.
