Rugbeians gathered around the railway station to get a glimpse ahead of the train's arrival at 11.56 on Monday, June 18.

The train was scheduled to steam away from platform one at around 12.30, but remained for around 15 minutes beyond that as it appeared to take on water.

The Flying Scotsman, built in 1923, steamed into history books in 1934 when it became the first steam locomotive to be officially authenticated at reaching 100mph.
