InterCity (British Rail)

Common card · No. 320483

InterCity (or, in its earliest days, the hyphenated Inter-City) was a brand name introduced by British Rail in 1966 for its long-haul express passenger services. In 1982, the British Railways Board divided its operations into a number of sectors, through sectorisation; that responsible for long-distance express trains assumed the brand-name InterCity, although many routes that were previously operated as InterCity services were assigned to other sectors; e.g. London King's Cross to King's Lynn services were transferred to the Network SouthEast sector instead. The brand was discontinued after the privatisation of British Rail in 1997, although it now used by Locomotive Services for its heritage railtour fleet.
