Later in the day its due to return along the same route, but this time it will be pushed be a diesel locomotive. On the return it is due to return to Lincoln at approximately 8.45pm.

There’s still a handful of tickets available for the full journey, according to the website, but a standard ticket costs £193 with Premier Class seats costing £305.

The locomotive last came through Spalding in April where crowds of people lined the railways for sight of the legendary steam engine.
