My only clear memory of seeing 'The South Yorkshireman' by an amazing coincidence, was the same year as the timetable, which confirms my sighting. That summer we went on holiday to Southsea travelling via Vic to Marylebone then Waterloo to Portsmouth and Southsea with a taxi ride across London (the cases fell out the cab while circumnavigating Trafalgar Square, I'll never forget the mayhem!) Anyway, I remember as we were walking out of Marylebone platform, 'The Yorkie' pulled into the terminus hauled by a very mucky V2, looking at the timetable, we must have caught the 12:21 Sats only Lough, Leics, Rugby, Marylebone which arrived about 15mins before the Yorkie, so a good confirmation of my sighting. For some reason we travelled via St Pancras for our hols after that, were the Midland services more efficient, I wouldn't be surprised, as they were trying to run the GCR down., The "Master Cutler" was a daily express train from, I think, London to Sheffield (Cutler as in knife makers) We used to get three penny worth of chips at a chip shop just through Collingham Footway. Sat on the wall at the end of Ryeland crescent?? and wait for the train, hopefully pulled by a LNER "namer".
