England and Scotland : East Coast Route : Great Northern, North Eastern and North British Railways : tourist folder for the U.S. market : nd [c.1910] : map of the East Coast Route

A very targetted approach to marketing the East Coast Route - today's East Coast Main LIne - to a North American market; the Stars & Stripes draped with the Union Flag and the American eagle. The tourist leaflet was issued c.1910 and describes the main line express and sleeper car services that were jointly run by the three railway companies whose lines made up the East Coast route. There is also a brief description of the main 'sights' to be seen on the Great Northern, the North Eastern and the North British Railways separate sections of the line.

The map shows the main line north from London to Edinburgh via York as well as connections to Liverpool and Southampton (in connection with cross-Atlantic sailings) as well as line north of Edinburgh towards Aberdeen, Inverness and the West Coast.
