"The Flying Scotsman." During the coming Summer, the "Flying Scotsman," will again operate the non-stop trip from Lon- don to Edinburgh. This, 393 mile non-stop run, the longest non-stop schedule in the world, will be au- complished by the use of corridor Lenders on the locomotive, enabling a change of engine creas to be made while travelling at full speed.

England's Golden Arrow" is the most famous train serving the Continent. It is on this flier that people slip away from the darkness of London to enjoy the sunshine of Following the Southern France. English Channel voyage the Golden Arrow again takes passengers from Calais to Paris..

Slow trains, poorly equip d for pleasant passenger travel, which have been employed in Spain, Aus tria, Portugal and Italy in the past, are. all being supplanted by. faster, comfortable trains.
