Turn up at Kings Cross, you'll probably see it...
1E01 05.40 Edinburgh - Kings X 09.40
1D10 10.35 Kings X - Leeds 12.46
1A31 13.15 Leeds - Kings X 15.25
1S25 16.30 Kings X - Edinburgh 21.15
That's the diagram worked by the set that works the Flying Scotsman service (the 5.40 ex-Edinburgh) by the looks of it. Unfortunately that is rarely the Flying Scotsman branded set as far as collective experience goes, it can end up on anything. But worth a shot, it is on paper just as likely as any other diagram.

Hi 395Johnny and welcome to the forum,
Unfortunatly, I don't think you can find out just yet as the timetabels are been finalised for it's first year in service. If you check the NRM Flyings Scotsman Page, I'm sure it will be on there when they are released.
Hope this helps,
Jacob

Well that's nice isn't it! And your advice is not even true, as it won't be allways in Kings Cross, infact their is only a few train services hauled by steam which run now that even to into Kings Cross.

It's all very well trying to own someone

To make things more complicated, they seem to have split the DVT and 91 up, saw 91101 running an Edinburgh train first thing with a full EC coloured set, while the DVT was paired with 91115. You know these celebrity marriages, never last more than a couple of weeks.
A few weeks ago I saw the flying scotsman DVT, but I was sure I saw GNER blue coaching stock. I assumed I must have just got the purple and blue mixed up, maybe not then.
Maybe they will stop the mixed xsets once everything is painted into the new liveries?
Perhaps I'm imagining things, but wasn't it announced that whoever wins the franchise next time round will be obliged to keep the branding and livery, like with ScotRail?
It's quite unusual (in my experience) for DVTs to be split from mark 4 sets and swapped between them, but there've been a few reports on here recently of mixed livery formations being spotted. The 91s are changed over between sets pretty regularly, being split every few weeks, as the maintenance cycle for the 91s is different to that of the carriage rakes.
Is it possible to get a timetable of which services it'll be working?
