"Flying Scotsman" is running from York to Southall, via the ECML, on Thursday. As such, I wouldn't expect it to be passing through Culham en route to Didcot at all.

I have checked all the steam tours and no mention. Also, I understand the Flying Scotsman trips are no longer shown in the public domain as a result of irresponsible people encroaching on the line and delaying this and other trains. They have just spoiled it for everybody else.

It's not a tour, it's at Didcot Railway Centre for the bank holiday weekend, entry strictly limited to ticket holders only.

The specific timings of the trips often aren't publically released until short notice, but the dates of its tours and appearances are no secret, the loco has its own website after all.

It eventually left York at 11:13, now appears to be running direct via the ECML rather than the more circuitous route via Lincoln, having passed Retford at 12:08.
