Flying Scotsman passengers shocked as iconic train struck by DRONE following £4.2m revamp

The famous locomotive was travelling through the Yorkshire countryside when travellers were stunned by a loud bang from the rear

The Flying Scotsman was travelling on the North York Moors when the incident happened.

Passengers on the Flying Scotsman were terrified when a drone flew into the train on its way across the North York Moors.

Police are investigating how the drone managed to slam into a rear carriage of the train on preserved railway tracks between Grosmont and Pickering.

A huge bang stunned those on board, with many now voicing their concerns about drones and their safety.

Drones have been frequently used to record images of the Flying Scotsman which has recently been seen in public for the first time in more than a decade following a £4.2m restoration.
