These special trains worked on the Eastern region and provided a direct to the Billy Butlin’s holiday camps during the 1950s and early 1960s. The first style of headboard was the one reading “Butlin’s Express”. The circular boards were used on the Liverpool Street to Clacton trains. The type 3 boards (narrow ones) were used later particularly after the introduction of diesels for the services.Originally run by the LMSR from 1927 until the outbreak of war, the title was re-introduced by British Railways in 1949. Running between St Pancras (London) and Glasgow (St Enoch), this was transferred to Glasgow Central after St Enoch’s closure. This titled express was one of the four London Midland Region expresses to carry a Coronation crown and cipher headboard during 1953.
