Union Pacific. It is the name of a rilroad Company. I beleive it is the largest railroad company in operation today. It was established in 1862 and was part of the first transcontinental railway.

Aye Suzie lass, your stuff is always a delight. I'm not Scottish but between you, Craig and Billy, I sometimes wish I were. By the way Craig says "doughnut" is a term for a "rude" part of the body, as in ,"raffle yer doughnut" so what is "doughnut hurling"? Also I "understood" what the Scotsman was saying. Does this mean I have been watching the ' Late Late Show with T.V.'s own Craig Ferguson" too much?

The British Rail Rulebook defines UP services as those travelling towards London and DOWN services as those travelling away.
Even if your train does not start/terminate at London the same principle should be applied to it's direction of running.

Everyone is correct about UP standing for Union Pacific. but in response to zuester2's answer UP is not the largest railroad in the world but is the largest in the USA with 32,400 miles of track, BNSF or Burlington Northern Santa Fe has 32,000 miles of owned track.

Up means towards a major town
Down means towards a minor town
eg Between London and Birmingham Up is towards London
but between Birmingham and Redditch up is towards Birmingham
Another way to describe it is up is towards milepost 0
