A TRAIN which passes through East Lothian every day will be renamed to mark the Coronation of King Charles III.
From tomorrow (Saturday), the 11am service between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh Waverley will be called the ‘Carolean Express’, with the inaugural service departing the London station at 11am on the day of the King’s Coronation.
The era of British history under King Charles III will be known as the Carolean era, the same name that was given to the eras of both King Charles I and II.
David Horne, managing director at LNER, said: “In our 100-year history we’ve had services to celebrate important occasions in royal history and we are proud to mark the reign of King Charles III.”
The ‘Carolean Express’ operates Monday-Sunday calling at York, Darlington, Newcastle, Berwick Upon Tweed and Edinburgh Waverley.
