The train ran between London and Edinburgh in as little time as 6 hours. The service was formed by a rake of four pairs of specially designed streamlined coaches, with the addition of a streamlined observation car other than in the winter when the short period of daylight precluded the views.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span>One service was run in each direction each day, the down service departing London for Edinburgh at 16:00pm, and the up service leaving Edinburgh at 16:30pm. Services were usually pulled by an A4 Class locomotive, commonly liveried to match the rest of the train.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bggle_image--container imageLeft aboveText imageLeft\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bggle--block bggle_text margin_vertical--small      \">\n<p><span>The coaches were based upon the successful Silver Jubilee design and featured extensive attempts to reduce drag and increase comfort including the use of articulated pairs of coaches sharing bogies which limited the gap between the coaches, and aerodynamic underframe skirting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In total, 4 sets of coaches were built plus the two observation cars. 2 sets were used for &#8216;Coronation&#8217; (and &#8216;Talisman&#8217;; the return service) 1 set for the West Riding Limited service to Leeds, and 1 spare set which could be used for any of the preceding services. After the war, the services were not resumed, and the sets were split up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>After a fire in 1951, additional doors were added to the twin sets to reduce the time needed to disembark in emergencies. All coaches lost their underframe skirting to aid maintenance and reduce unnecessary weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Formation (observation car and locomotive both turned and arranged depending upon direction of travel):<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Brake Third (A) + Kitchen Third (Twin) (B)<\/span><br \/><span>Open First (C) + Open First (Twin) (D)<\/span><br \/><span>Open Third (E) + Kitchen Third (Twin) (F)<\/span><br \/><span>Open Third (G) + Brake Third (Twin) (H)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hornby are producing a newly tooled range of LNER Coronation articulated coaches in OO gauge.
