Run Down and Cessation
In 1964, The Waverley ceased to run during the winter, and so additional coaches for Edinburgh were carried on the Thames-Clyde. But the train then made additional stops on the Settle & Carlisle line which were otherwise served by The Waverley - Skipton, Hellifield, Settle and Appleby West railway station. The 1966 closure of St Enoch resulted in the transfer of the service to Glasgow Central. In 1968, a further delay was added by a stop at Nottingham, which meant a reversal. In 1970 a short lived Sunday diversion to Derby brought another reversal, although this had ceased by 1973. The train had acquired a bad reputation for slowness and unpunctuality.

Famous quotes containing the words run and/or cessation:
“You have to stand every day three or four hours of visitors. Nine-tenths of them want something they ought not to have. If you keep dead-still they will run down in three or four minutes. If you even cough or smile they will start up all over again.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“... we, like so many others who think more of working than of dying, care only to push on steadily, wishing less for cessation of toil than for strength to keep at it; and for wisdom to make it worthy of the ideal of labor and of life which we believe to be the most precious gift of Heaven to any soul.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
