Flying Scotsman tour 4 Nov

[RButcher]

Hello everyone, this is my first post here.
Is anyone going out to spot the Flying Scotsman in the Melton Mowbray / Nottingham area on Saturday morning?
It is doing a tour from London to York via Kettering, Melton, Loughborough and Chesterfield.
Hoping to see it somewhere along the Wreake valley.

Does anyone have any details for FS getting to Norwich for it's workings on Saturday please? I understand it is currently at York but can't find a working this week (Friday?) over to Norwich.

Looks from Realtimetrains/opentraintimes like it's currently at Southall WCR, due to run up to Norwich via ECML and Cambridge on Friday (tomorrow) afternoon as 5Z59:

Edit: I think I have been fooled - apparently this schedule is just the coaches hauled by something else, with no schedule in the data yet for the loco itself moving from York.

Then on Saturday it has a trip down to Westerfield and back to Norwich:

Then to King's Cross via Ely:

I believe that the return working for this is diesel-hauled so presumably it'll go back to Southall.

Currently in steam at York:

So I think it's reasonable to assume this new schedule is the one - running as 5Z60 (which sounds like it's got coaches with it if it's a class 5 headcode?) :
