Back in 1975 the Electric Scots adorned the timetable's cover, the headline grabbing 5 hour schedule of the Royal Scot (Euston 10:45, Glasgow Central 15:45) was comfortably faster than the Flying Scotsman's five and a half hours from Kings Cross to Edinburgh. Of course HST  introduction on the Western Region was only a year away and would eclipse, in speed terms, both Anglo Scottish routes in due course.<br /> <br /> Interestingly many preserved lines were also included as are Irish Sea and Isle of Man ferries, and those to Orkney and Shetland and the Channel Islands. Continental services are in a separate timetable.<br /> <br /> What is immediately apparant comparing 2013 with 1975 is the increase in frequencies on almost all lines.
