Master Cutler (train)

The Master Cutler is a British named express passenger train operated by East Midlands Railway between Sheffield and London St Pancras.

From 7 October 1968 the Master Cutler title was moved over to a fast train running to London St Pancras via the Midland line.

As part of the timetable changes on 14 December 2008, East Midlands Trains reverted the service to its post-1968 historic route, and it now operates from Sheffield to London St Pancras, via Chesterfield, Derby and Leicester, not starting from Leeds.

One of their locomotives used to work on the original trains during the 1950s, jointly-owned BR standard class 5 73156; restored at Loughborough on the Great Central Railway in 2017, in the guise of 73084 Tintagel.

Hornby has produced a set consisting of A3 locomotive Prince Palatine in early British Railways express passenger blue livery.

Graham Farish/Bachmann also introduced a Master Cutler train set, in N gauge consisting of an ex-LNER V2 and three blood and custard coaches, it is now discontinued.
