One of the world's most famous locomotives will be steaming through Oxfordshire this summer.

The newly-restored Flying Scotsman will be passing through Bicester and Oxford on a Chilterns Lunchtime Tour in the late morning of Wednesday, June 1.

The Flying Scotsman will depart from London Victoria at about 9.45am for a day trip through the Chilterns via Bicester and Oxford and return to the capital at around 3.45pm.

Trainspotters can expect to see the famous locomotive pass through Oxford and Bicester in the late morning, although journey times have not been confirmed by tour operator Steam Dreams.

It comes after the iconic train made its first journey in a decade following a £4.2m refit.

The green locomotive departed from London King's Cross at 7.40am this morning and arrived in York at 1.20pm.

But its inaugural run was disrupted when dozens of steam enthusiasts stood on the track to take photographs, leaving the train to come to a "shuddering stop" near St Neots, Cambridgeshire.

Footage filmed from the stationary train showed people walking down the line holding cameras.

British Transport Police (BTP) received reports of around 60 trespassers on the track near St Neots shortly after 9am. No arrests were made.

But after a 10-minute delay the famous locomotive got underway again, with thousands of people lining the tracks and bridges to see it fly north.

Built in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, in 1923, the Flying Scotsman soon became the star locomotive of the British railway system, pulling the first train to break the 100mph barrier in 1934.

The National Railway Museum (NRM) in York bought the locomotive for £2.3 million in 2004 before work got under way on its restoration in 2006.

It has been painted in the traditional early 1960s British Rail green for its first official outing bearing its nameplates after the restoration project.

Flying Scotsman will be kept at the NRM until March 6 before embarking on a tour around the country.
