The world's most famous steam train has left its home at the National Railway Museum in York and is touring through railways across the UK to mark its centenary and to celebrate International Women's Day.
The iconic 100-year-old Locomotive is being manned by a fully female crew on March 8 and is stopping off at East Lancashire Railway for a special event celebrating the past, present and future of women in rail.
The train is taking three scenic trips around the Lancashire countryside, crewed entirely by a female footplate team.
We were lucky enough to be invited down to check out the historic British train and speak to people involved.
