In the 1950s and 1960s these cheap return excursion trains ran overnight between London and both Glasgow and Edinburgh, departing on Friday evenings and then returning on Saturday evenings a week or a fortnight later. The main purpose of these nocturnal trains was to compete with the Anglo-Scottish services being offered by the private coach companies in the 1950s and 1960s. Not only were they successful in doing this, they also generated long-distance and profitable traffic for British Railways. Dave Peel looks at this lesser-known aspect of Britain's railway history, a popular service that spanned ten years of service at the twilight of steam. He examines their rise and their fall, their successes and failures.

These were some of the most popular and long-lived excursion trains that BR ever ran. They were cheap fare period return excursions (for 8 or 15 day holidays) that ran (overnight but without sleeping cars) between London and Glasgow/Edinburgh and vice versa. Outward journeys commenced on Friday evenings, returning on Saturday evenings a week or fortnight hence, the season running Easter to September only. Their main purpose was to compete with (and take traffic from) the night-time Anglo-Scottis... These were some of the most popular and long-lived excursion trains that BR ever ran. They were cheap fare period return excursions (for 8 or 15 day holidays) that ran (overnight but without sleeping cars) between London and Glasgow/Edinburgh and vice versa. Outward journeys commenced on Friday evenings, returning on Saturday evenings a week or fortnight hence, the season running Easter to September only. Their main purpose was to compete with (and take traffic from) the night-time Anglo-Scottish holiday services that the private road coach operators offered. They were successful in doing this, and generated additional long-distance traffic for the railway as well. The trains were particularly popular with Glaswegians, who continued to patronise them in substantial numbers throughout their ten-year period of operation. This book details their introduction, development and ultimate decline - largely from a 'management' viewpoint. Being mostly nocturnal, Starlights were not frequently photographed, and as excursions they were not in the public timetables either, all publicity being in the form of posters and handbills, mostly confined to the three cities mentioned. Hardly surprising then that these trains were under most peoples' radar and that very little has appeared in print to explain their story.
