THE Flying Scotsman timetable will no longer be made public after 40-50 people trespassed on the railway line near Cam and Dursley Station.

Operator Steam Dreams said it had been "advised" not to publish details of when the Scotsman was running.

There were a number of incidents of trespass over the weekend in relation to the Flying Scotsman tour.

Incidents were reported along the line, with significant disruption near to Cam and Dursley railway station in Gloucestershire.

A British Transport Police spokesman said: “It is incredibly disappointing that despite repeated warnings, people chose to risk their lives and the lives of others by going onto the railway tracks to view the Flying Scotsman.

“We understand that people are excited, but the railway is a hazardous environment and trespassers endanger their safety and that of others.

“The disruption caused to trains as a result of the trespass over the weekend meant that many people were affected by the actions of the trespassers.

“We will monitor the situation as the Flying Scotsman continues its journey.

“Our priority is the safety of everyone viewing and travelling on the train and our officers will be along the route and at stations to ensure everyone can enjoy the event without putting themselves or others in danger.

“We would like to remind everyone once again that trespassing can kill, it is simply not worth the risk.

“Anyone found trespassing on the railway will be dealt with according to the law – you could be brought before the courts, get a criminal record and a fine of up to £1,000.”

Brian Whatling, chairman of Cam Parish Council, said: "I would like to thank the police and all those whoe took part in the organisation - especially helping clear people off the track - it must have been like pushing fog up a hill.

"They deserve the credit."
