The timetabled service which eventually was known as the Royal Scot first ran in 1862. For many years it departed from both ends at 10:00 (mirroring the Flying Scotsman on the East Coast Main Line). From 1874, the train was hauled by LNWR Improved Precedent Class 2-4-0 locomotives. When 4-4-0 locos became available from 1897, the train was generally hauled by one of the fastest engines available. Early on this would normally be a LNWR Precursor Class 4-4-0, then from 1913 the LNWR Claughton Class 4-6-0, in each case with a change to Caledonian Railway locomotives at Carlisle Citadel and over Beattock Summit to Glasgow.
On 11 July 1927, the London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) relaunched the service under a new name, the Royal Scot. Initially the service was non-stop with an engine change at Carnforth, and the train divided at Symington with a portion continuing to Glasgow and the other portion to Edinburgh. All trains were hauled double headed; the Carnforth to Glasgow leg were hauled by two Midland 4-4-0 Compounds.[1] In August 1927, the LMS introduced the modern and more powerful Royal Scot Class, a series of 4-6-0 locomotives that took over the service and ran from London Euston and Carlisle non-stop. This set a new British record for the longest non-stop run.[1] At Carlisle, an engine of the same class based in Polmadie, Glasgow, would take over.
The Royal Scot train gradually became heavier, including the addition of dining coaches. In 1933, the Royal Scot was hauled by the Princess Royal Class, a group of 4-6-2 Pacifics and in 1937, by the new Coronation Class that featured a streamlined design. These engines sometimes worked the train with a brief stop at Carlisle for a change of crew. I bet he’s thinking about trains again
