Famous Expresses Series 1
The 8:30 am Irish daylight mail from Easton, familiarly termed "Wild Irishman," and its counterpart starting at 8:45 pm, cover the 264 miles to Holyhead in about 5 1/2 hours. The long stages between Rugby, Crewe and Chester, the only stops, are made possible by means of frequent water thoughts from which engines pick up water without slackening speed. |
