(First post on this forum!)
So I though I'd ask an old question of mine which no one has ever successfully been able to answer.
I once heard a rumour that there used to be a sleeper service of some description which went from Manchester Victoria to one of the London Terminii. This was discontinued in the late 60s / early 70s IIRC and left very late at night, arriving quite early on in the morning.
I believe it was a genuine 'sleeper service' with some sleeper accommodation, it may also have had seated accommodation, but I'm told it had no restaurant or buffet. I do not believe it was principally a newspaper/parcels job - although I'm quite sure it participated in some of that work too!
Can anyone shed any more light on the matter? Thanks!
