The Midland Railway were keen to have their own through trains to Scotland, hence the building of the Settle/Carlisle connection. How many through trains were there from St Pancras to Glasgow once the Settle/Carlisle was completed?
I believe that in later years, under BR, there were at least two through trains, the "Thames/Clyde Express" to Glasgow and the "Waverley" via the Waverley route to Edinburgh.
I would be interested in any details of the early time-table regarding through trains.
Thanks Mike
