Cumbria seems to be the place to be this weekend as the county welcomes the ever-entertaining Red Arrows as well as the iconic Flying Scotsman locomotive.

Do not fear, summer is not over just yet, so make sure you get out and about this weekend.

We've been treated to some marvellous weather over the past few days, and if it continues, either plane or train will look incredible.

Red Arrows display:

The Red Arrows have been confirmed for a fly-past at this weekend’s Whitehaven Alive festival. They are scheduled to fly over Whitehaven Harbour at 2:40 pm on Saturday, September, 9 with the event free to attend all day this weekend. The flight path will see them fly from Blackpool over Morecambe Bay.

The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, is one of the world's premier aerobatic display teams. Based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire, the Red Arrows had flown almost 5,000 displays in 57 countries.

Oliver Hodgson, founder and executive director added: “The perfect addition to our festival weekend, it’s going to create a fantastic atmosphere, we cannot wait to see the Red Arrows make an appearance on Saturday.

“We are on day four of our site build and everything is going to plan, the harbour looks excellent with something for everyone to enjoy!

"We would advise people travelling to the festival to set off earlier than usual as we are expecting big crowds.

"We are operating a park-and-ride service from Westlakes Science Park every day of the festival thanks to our friends at BEC.”

Flying Scotsman:

This Sunday (September 10) the No.60103 Flying Scotsman is set to take a ride on the Settle to Carlisle line. 

Passengers will be picked up at Leeds, Keighley, and Skipton, followed by a stop at Hellifield before joining the famous Settle & Carlisle Railway. 

It will take a break in Carlisle for passengers to explore the city. 

The train will eventually leave Carlisle for the return journey in the afternoon with a stop at Appleby planned for the route.

However, for safety reasons, The Railway Touring Company and the National Railway Museum have made the decision not to disclose specific details about Flying Scotsman's journey times or positioning moves. 

A Network Rail spokesperson said: “Seeing Flying Scotsman is an exciting event for many people and we want everyone to be able to enjoy the occasion, so we can’t stress enough how important it is to keep safe at the same time.

“It’s vital that you watch from a safe distance and don’t go on or near the tracks. Trespassing on the railway is incredibly dangerous and can have devastating consequences, as well as being illegal. You could face a fine of up to £1,000 and be left with a criminal record.

“Please remember to watch from a distance and behave responsibly so that everyone is able to safely enjoy the sight of the historic locomotive.”
