The Harrogate Pullman was introduced into service by the London and North Eastern Railway and began operating in 1923 between London King’s Cross and Newcastle, via Harrogate and Ripon.[1]
It comprised 12 new specially-built Pullman cars costing £70,000 (equivalent to £4,020,000 in 2019)[2] for the service.[3] The supplement to travel on the service was 10s 1st class (equivalent to £28.73 in 2019)[2] and 6s 3rd class[4] (equivalent to £17.24 in 2019).[2]
In 1928 it was renamed the West Riding Pullman[5] which in 1935 became the Yorkshire Pullman.
In 1928 it became Queen of Scots.[6]
