A little bit more information concerning 'The Midlander'. It was apparently inaugurated on 25th September 1950 the first service being in the hands of
'Royal Scot' 46140. From 1951 onwards the train was a regular working for one of the eight jubilees shedded at Bushbury (3B) to work Euston services.
They were, 45688 Polythemus, 45703 Thunderer, 45733 Novelty, 45734 Meteor, 45737 Atlas, 45738 Sampson, 45741 Leinster and 45742 Connaught.
The train as a named express was formally dropped with the introduction of the winter timetable in September 1959.
Still trying to find timings from Wolverhampton HL, Birmingham NS and Coventry, to complete my records.
