Introduced in 1953. The Elizabethan was the crack post war express between London Kings Cross and Edinburgh. Running only in the summer months. It was then the longest scheduled non stop service in the world. It is seen here in on 8th September 1961 waiting to depart from Edinburgh Waverley behind Class A4 4-6-2 No. 60009 Union of South Africa.
