Skyfall Train

Moore Than

To mark its unprecedented success at the UK box office, 'Skyfall' will become the first film in the UK to permanently give its name to a train, when the East Coast train is unveiled on platform 007 at King's Cross Station (London) next Saturday by the stars of the 23rd James Bond instalment, to coincide with the film's (UK) release on Blu-ray and DVD on Monday 18th February. Naomie Harris, Berenice Marlohe, writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade and other special guests will officially unveil East Coast train 91007, the London to Edinburgh service that will be permanently named 'Skyfall' and wrapped in its stunning artwork, celebrating 50 years of classic train scenes in Bond films.

Members of the public will have the chance to ride in the Skyfall train from Sunday 17th February, as it goes into active service on the 'Flying Scotsman' route from Edinburgh Waverley to London King's Cross, which completes the journey in just four hours.

Interesting and apt indeed, as Fleming was a train enthusiast. He once drove a car into a light railway train!
