Default How to terminate a North-South HSL in London?

BR once ran a cut-price train up the ECML to Newcastle (or maybe
Edinburgh) that started from Finsbury Park.


'The Highwayman' - left Newcastle very late pm, took the coastal route
through Sunderland, arrived FP about 0600. Travelled on it once in the late
60s - don't think it ran for long though, it was a bit like a fully seated
sleeper...


I don't think Mr Band's old enough for it to have been that, is he?


That *is* the one I meant - indeed, it stopped running a long time
before I ever went anywhere near Finsbury Park (although I thought it
survived into the 80s - ah well, only out by 20 years or so...)


Ah. I misread your first comment. Apologies...
