Grand Central Railway - Named Services

Named Services

Grand Central has given names to two trains on its Sunderland route. Contrary to tradition in British named train servics, these are not pairs but individual one-way trips. In the 2008 timetable, the name The Zephyr was given to the early morning (06:41) departure from Sunderland, while the teatime (15:50) train from London was called The 21st Century Limited. No mention of these was made in the 2012 timetable.
