“Speaking of locomotive surefootedness, I was immensely impressed, on a recent journey with the down "Ulsterman" from Euston, when "Royal Scot" 4-6-0 No. 46168, The Girl Guide⟳, cleanly lifted a well-filled 15-coach train⟳ of 471 tons tare and 500 tons gross out of the terminus without the service of any banking engine.”

“The train⟳ was well filled, with quite an amount of intermediate business; but station staff and passengers alike seemed ready enough to "look⟳ lively", and the result⟳ was a general "slickness" in working that augers^([sic]) well for the future.”

“Again, the 9.00 Kings Cross-Newcastle is very variable in its loading, but the 17.00 back, on which most of the stock⟳ returns, is usually well-filled.”
