NON-STOP 410 MILES
NEW RAILWAY RECORDS LONDON TO SCOTLAND .><& British Official Wireless RUGBY, Sunday.

Two expresses travelled from Euston station, London, to Glasgow and Edinburgh respectively—distances of 410 J miles and 3991 miles—without a halt. They thus eclipsed the company’s previous record of 299 i miles from London to Carlisle on the same service. These record runs involved in both cases two immense climbs over the Shaw Summit, in Westmorland, 900 feet high, and the Beattock Summit, in Lanarkshire, 1,000 feet high.
