The northbound service departed London Euston at 6.10pm, with the southbound working departed Fleetwood at 6.05pm.[2] It was usually hauled by a LMS Royal Scot Class locomotive.[3] As well as serving Fleetwood, the service also ran to Heysham. The service was suspended for the duration of the Second World War and restarted in 1949.[4] In 1955 the service saw the introduction of stainless steel first-class coaches with corridor compartments and open saloons in which the seats were pivoted, so that they could be rotated to form groups of four.[5] It was withdrawn by British Rail in 1975 when the ferry service between Heysham harbour and Belfast was withdrawn.
