Does anyone know who owns and operates the Royal Scotsman train that runs from edinburgh Waverly. Im sure it is either GSWR, West Coast railways or Orient express.
I would like a job onboard does anyone know any details about the train or company, i would like to be the maintenance engineer or loco fitter.
I have seen the web site but thats not much help, does anyone know any contacts with the company?
Thanks in advance.

The Royal Scotsman is operated and maintained by the West Coast Railway Company based at Carnforth. There depot in next to the railway station at Carnforth.
The fitters that travel with these trains are highly skilled with years of experience working with coaches and locomotives, this is so that when required they can deal with most faults en route.
If you work on the railway, you're bound to know people who can tell you all about WCRC. If you don't work on the railway, you probably don't have the experience that WCRC would be looking for. Saying that, there's never any harm in asking.

It is apparently owned and operated by Orient Express:- http://www.royalscotsman.com/web/rs/rs_a2a_home.jsp
OE won't, however, own and run the locos that haul it. I think they hire in locos and staff from EWSR.
