Named Trains

[button_boxer]

MML also a pair of Pullman formation HSTs with an additional FO. One was used on the Master Cutler, the other on one of the other named services (can't remember which). The Up Master Cutler used to be interesting as it was the only service booked to run via the whole Erewash Valley line (as opposed to reversing at Nottingham) and the only service booked not to call at Leicester (running none from from Chesterfield to London). These days I think it follows a more conventional routing and calling pattern.

As I understand it, the Master Cutler these days is exactly the same route and calls as any other xx:27 Sheffield to London service. The selling point always used to be that the MC did Sheffield to London in just over 2 hours, but with meridians all the fast Sheffield services are now capable of that.
