The British Rail Class 313 is a dual-voltage electric multiple unit (EMU) train built by BREL York Works between February 1976 and April 1977. They were the first second-generation EMUs to be constructed for British Rail and the first British Rail units with both a pantograph for 25 kV AC overhead lines and shoegear for 750 V DC third rail supply. They were the first units in Britain to have multi-function Tightlock couplers, allowing coupling and the connection of control electric and air supplies to be carried out from the cab.
As of 2020 Class 313s remain in use with Southern on services from Brighton and along the South Coast.

The Caledonian Sleeper is a sleeper train operated by First ScotRail. It is one of only two on the British railway network, the other being the Night Riviera (operating from London to Penzance).
It connects London Euston nightly except Saturday with five Scottish termini: Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Fort William, Glasgow and Inverness, and intermediate stations. The Fort William service is known colloquially as The Deerstalker.
The trains normally operate at a maximum speed of 80 miles per hour (130 km/h), but are authorised to travel at 100 miles per hour (160 km/h) where line speeds permit if the train has been delayed by more than 20 minutes.
Departs London Euston at 21:15 (20:57 Sunday), calling at Watford Junction, Crewe and Preston to pick up passengers only, and arrives at Edinburgh Waverley (to pick up seated passengers to Fort William only) approximately six-and-a-half hours after leaving London. The electric locomotive is uncoupled and replaced by a diesel for each of the three portions, to Aberdeen, Inverness and Fort William, calling at intermediate stations (alighting only northbound/boarding only southbound with the exception of the stops served by the Fort William section). Travel from Edinburgh is possible in seated accommodation subject to availability. (Passengers for Central Scotland and stations to Perth and Dundee may depart London later on the Lowland train to Edinburgh, and arrive later by connecting train.)

First ScotRail is a train operating company in Scotland owned by FirstGroup that has operated the ScotRail franchise since October 2004.
It operates most commuter and long-distance services within the country as well as some cross-border services to England, including the Caledonian Sleeper.
Express trains operate between Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, Dundee and Aberdeen. The Highland Main Line links Inverness to the south. Some stretches of main line, such as the Highland Main Line, are single track, and express trains must call at intermediate stations to permit trains coming in the opposite direction to pass.

Euston railway station (/ˈjuːstən/; also known as London Euston) is a central London railway terminus on Euston Road in the London Borough of Camden, managed by Network Rail. It is the southern terminus of the West Coast Main Line to Liverpool Lime Street, Manchester Piccadilly, Edinburgh Waverley and Glasgow Central. It is also the mainline station for services to and through Birmingham New Street, and to Holyhead for connecting ferries to Dublin. Local suburban services from Euston are run by London Overground via the Watford DC Line which runs parallel to the WCML as far as Watford Junction. There is an escalator link from the concourse down to Euston tube station; Euston Square tube station is nearby. King's Cross and St Pancras railway stations are further down Euston Road.
Euston was the first intercity railway terminal in London, planned by George and Robert Stephenson. The original station was designed by Philip Hardwick and built by William Cubitt, having a distinctive arch over the station entrance. The station opened as the terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway (L&BR) on 20 July 1837. Capacity was increased throughout the 19th century from two platforms to fifteen. The station was controversially rebuilt in the mid-1960s, including the demolition of the Arch and the Great Hall, to accommodate the electrified West Coast Main Line, and the revamped station still attracts criticism over its architecture. Euston remains a significant station into the 21st century, and is proposed to be the London terminus of the future High Speed 2 project.
