Note 109 — Chapter XXIII
Reading edition
“July 26th, 1853.—Called at Euston Square and saw Huish and Bruyères on the subject of a swift mail to the North. My notion is to run a train with only one or two carriages in addition to those required for the mail, and to stop only once in about forty miles.”
“July 28th.—Called again at Euston Square, and . . . proposed forty miles an hour, including stoppages, thus reaching Edinburgh by 7 a.m.”—Sir R. Hill’s Journal.—Ed.
