History
Commenced service on 30 September 1935, the train travelling between London King’s Cross and Newcastle. It did this at an average speed of 67 mph (108 km/h), taking four hours to complete the journey.[1] The high average speed was maintained by running at high speeds uphill.[2]
The train was made in the year of King George V’s Silver Jubilee, and was painted silver throughout. It was composed of two twin-set articulated coaches, and one triplet-set; seven coaches in total.
On 6 November 1935, the newlywed Duke and Duchess of Gloucester travelled on Silver Jubilee from St Pancras to Kettering for a honeymoon at nearby Boughton House, one of the bride’s family homes.[3]
In February 1938, an eighth coach was inserted into the third class twin set, bringing the total to eight coaches.[4]
The train set a new standard for speed in Britain at that time. Service continued until the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939.
