The Silver Jubilee was a named train of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) that ran between 1935 and 1939.
The service was to run once per day in each direction, departing from Newcastle Central at 10:00 am and returning from London King's Cross at 5:30 pm.
[1][2][3] To operate the service, an entirely new train was constructed – four locomotives (one of which was spare) and seven carriages were ordered in March 1935, all to new designs.
On 6 November 1935, the newlywed Duke and Duchess of Gloucester travelled on Silver Jubilee from St Pancras to Kettering for a honeymoon at nearby Boughton House, one of the bride's family homes.
[9] The name was briefly applied to one train per day between King's Cross and Edinburgh Waverley in 1977 for the Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II.
