Best Answer

The steam powered Flying Scotsman" in the 1950s was scheduled to depart from London Kings Cross at 10-00 am daily and arrive at Edinburgh Waverley at about

4-30pm that day although later arrivals were not uncommon. This was the fastest train between the two cities in that epoch. The journey included only one scheduled stop at Newcastle upon Tyne, the train otherwise slowing down to take on water from the troughs between the lines at certain places en-route. In more recent times with either diesel electric or AC electric locomotives, total journey time between the two capitals is considerably less.
