Ulster Express

The Ulster Express was a named passenger train operating in the United Kingdom.
History.
The "Ulster Express" was introduced into service by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and began operating in June 1927 between London Euston and Fleetwood. The northbound service departed London Euston at 6.10pm, with the southbound working departed Fleetwood at 6.05pm. It was usually hauled by a LMS Royal Scot Class locomotive. As well as serving Fleetwood, the service also ran to Heysham.
The service was suspended for the duration of the Second World War and restarted in 1949.
In 1955 the service saw the introduction of stainless steel first-class coaches with corridor compartments and open saloons in which the seats were pivoted, so that they could be rotated to form groups of four.
It was withdrawn by British Rail in 1975 when the ferry service between Heysham harbour and Belfast was withdrawn.
