The famous locomotive is back at the National Railway Museum in York ahead of a month in which is will be on public display as part of its 100th birthday celebrations.
Visitors can stand on the footplate between April 1 and 23, with tickets needing to be pre-booked. The engine will not be under steam.
The Flying Scotsman, built in Doncaster in 1923, celebrates its centenary this year with a programme of appearances, rail tours and exhibitions about its history.
It will depart York at the end of the month and spend the summer hauling steam charter excursions across the UK. It spend most of March visiting the East Lancashire Railway.
The engine will also make an official visit to Doncaster, after its birthplace was originally left off the schedule. Details have yet to be confirmed by the NRM, which owns the locomotive.
