The Thames - forth service which operated from London, St. Pancras and ran on the LMS rails to Edinburgh, Waverley first started operating in 1927 and was one of the services that was set up in competition with the LNER. The LNER were rivals of the LMS for the lucrative revenue generated by the London to Scotland passenger services. During the Second World War the service like so many others was suspended and although the service was partially restored after the War the name never was.
