The Palatine

The Palatine

The Palatine was the name given to an express passenger train, introduced by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1938: the 10.00 from Manchester to London St Pancras and the return leg, the 16.30 from St Pancras to Manchester.

A matching service, the 10.30 from St Pancras to Manchester, and the 16.25 from Manchester to St Pancras, introduced in the same year, was named the Peaks Express.

Both services were suspended at the outbreak of World War II. However British Railways resurrected the name for the 07.55 from St Pancras and the 14.25 from Manchester. This train made the trip in three hours and fifty five minutes, with stops at Chinley, Millers Dale, Matlock, Derby and Leicester.

The name was withdrawn in 1964. Today there are no direct passenger services between Manchester and St Pancras.
