This train harks back to the 1980’s when trains ran for a limited period between London Euston and Ayr. These trains were invariably hauled by Class 86 or 87 locomotives and ran via Glasgow Central in each direction. Whilst the train doesn’t start at London Euston, we have recreated the route north of Crewe with the bonus of both a Class 86 and a Class 87 hauling the train during the journey.

Our route will take us from Crewe direct, via the West Coast Main Line, to Glasgow Central. On arrival at Glasgow Central, for those that wish to spend some time in the city, the opportunity to alight and re-join later in the day is available. For those wishing to travel through to Ayr, after reversal at Glasgow Central, we will take the Ayrshire coast route to Ayr.

After a photograph opportunity at Ayr the train will retrace its steps to Glasgow Central for a break of around two hours. We will leave Glasgow Central shortly after 16.00 returning south, again direct via the West Coast Main Line, to Crewe.
