	The "Flying Scotsman"
		Until 1900 the "Flying Scotsman" had always stopped for twenty minutes at York while its passengers ate a hasty lunch in the station dining-room; but dining cars were included with the new coaches and the stop at York was cut from twenty minutes to under ten minutes.
		YORK, one of the principal stations on the route of the "Flying Scotsman." York is 188 miles from the London terminus at King's Cross.
		To enable everyone to identify this famous train, the name "The Flying Scotsman" is carried on the roof of each coach, on both sides; on a white nameboard with fl lettering on the front of the engine smoke-box; and in large white letters on the rear end of the last coach.
