Talisman

The most famous Scottish trains were the Talisman and the Elizabethan. The Talisman was the heir to the pre-war streamlined morning express to Edinburgh – the Coronation – and was always hauled by the most immaculate locomotives King’s Cross shed could provide. The name even lasted into the era of the “HST” diesel trains, before finally expiring in 1991. The Elizabethan, named for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, was less enduring. Despite being the most heavily loaded fast train in Britain at 420 tons, it didn’t even survive the diesel era, being consigned to the scrap-heap in 1961.
