Flying Scotsman and Tornado
With arguably the two most famous steam locomotives in the world running together on the national network for the first time – and along the Settle and Carlisle line, one of the most spectacular routes in the UK – this is surely mainline steam’s highlight for 2021. Four tours, all originating from different locations and running to Carlisle, are planned during October (20, 21, 27 and 28); passengers will get to ride behind Tornado one way and Flying Scotsman the other with the locos swapping at the border city.

We explain the different regional climates in Switzerland and what to expect each season to help you better prepare for life in the alpine country.
Similar to other central and eastern European countries, Switzerland has a mainly continental climate with four seasons each year. This includes a generally long and cold winter and a pleasant but variable summer. That said, the Swiss climate is subject to significant fluctuations that can vary depending on where you are in the country. This is due to Switzerland’s unique geographical location as well as factors such as topography, elevation, and weather fronts that come into play. Therefore, as you prepare to move to Switzerland, it is important to be aware of the climatic conditions you might experience throughout the year.
