On August 3, the ‘Irish Mail’ will run from London Euston to Holyhead, celebrating one of the world’s earliest and longest-running named trains. Starting from Euston with diesel or electric haulage, one of LSL’s stud of steam locomotives will take over at Crewe for the run along the North Wales coast.
