The train was introduced for the summer season in 1907 by the
Great Eastern Railway. It was timed to leave London Liverpool Street at 1:30pm, and arrive in Cromer at 4:25pm, Sheringham at 4:43pm, and Mundesley at 4:34pm. The returning service departed Sheringham at 12:36pm, Mundesley at 12:47pm, Cromer at 1:00pm, arriving in London Liverpool Street at 3:55pm. It was scheduled to run non-stop between Liverpool St. and
North Walsham in both directions, utilising the
water troughs at
Ipswich. It was the first, and until 1950, the only express to run non stop along the
GEML. For this new service the
Great Eastern Railway provided new locomotives and rolling stock. The length of the train was with a trailing weight of 317 tons. It provided accommodation for 96 first class, and 320 third class passengers. The dining facilities provided luncheon for 108 passengers at one time. Luncheon was provided for
half a Crown (). The train was suspended in 1914 following the outbreak of the
First World War and did not resume afterwards. ==References==
