CRACK EXPRESS
AT  CARLISLE
_____

FEATURED IN
TELEVISION  NEWS.

Tea in London and supper in West Cumberland 300 miles  away are possible
because of a most convenient two minutes halt in Carlisle of  the pride of British
Railways, the crack Caledonian express. It stops there  twice a day, and
passengers for West Cumberland quickly reach home in smooth  running diesel trains.

After tea at 3-45 at Euston - or he can have it on the  train, or dinner
later on - the West Cumbrian leaves shortly after 4 p.m. and is  in Carlisle a few
minutes after 9. The responsibility of seeing the Caledonian  into and out of
Carlisle Citadel Station falls on Mr. James L. LESLIE, the  station master,
who goes out to it in top hat and tails.

The two minutes halt, an actual time film, was  featured in Monday’s Northern
T. V. News and was of special interest to railway  enthusiasts.
