	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.
		For the up "Flying Scotsman" stops at Berwick, Newcastle, Darlington, York and Grantham; and when the duration of these stops is deducted, the time left is only 7 hours 25 minutes; moreover, the train is considerably heavier when the winter working is in force, because its two summer portions are then merged into one.
		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.

		Flying Scotsman then began a career of rail tours and star appearances at heritage railways: its first was a Festiniog Railway special from Paddington to Ruabon in Wales.

	THE MYSTERY READER reviews: Murder on the Flying Scotsman by Carola Dunn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		McGowan and many of his descendants are also on the train traveling to his twin brother Alistair's estate, all hoping to convince the two old men to change their wills so the family might inherit the money rather than Albert's ward, Indian doctor Chandra Jagai.
		Daisy suspects murder when she notices Albert's pillow missing and Jagai concurs, causing the entire train of suspects to be derailed (so to speak) from their trip while the local police and Scotland Yard investigate.
		The setting of the train limits the number of suspects, but it does not limit the possibilities of motives, giving readers enough plot to hold their interest until the end.

		For the summer the old steam train ‘Flying Scotsman’ has been making the trip from York to Scarborough passing through Malton on the way.
		When I got there it was sunny with some good stretches of blue sky but of course the train was late and by the time it got to me the sky had somewhat clouded up.
		I’m not a huge train fan (certainly no train spotter) but do think the old steam engines are a glimpse into a time well passed now.

	Opposition to the registration of FLYING SCOTSMAN trademark for dissimilar goods dismissed in the UK (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The applicant had rights to the Flying Scotsman name for the locomotive and its use of the mark on dissimilar goods would not prejudice the opponents as other registrations existed for THE FLYING SCOTSMAN mark.
		After 1963, the BRB maintained The Flying Scotsman service but scrapped the Flying Scotsman train which was bought by Alan Pegler, a railway enthusiast, who maintained it and operated it on excursions across the UK.
		FSRL's applications to register their "Flying Scotsman" markfor a range of goods and services that were dissimilar to those of the opponents could not be viewed as parasitic as they would be no more likely to affect the distinctiveness of the opponents' registered marks than the already existing registrations in classes 1 and 30.
