The corridor tender of the Flying Scotsman
The Flying Scotsman, London and North Eastern Railway, with corridor tender. Specially designed to enable train drivers and firemen to pass back into the carriage to rest, the corridor tender is 5 feet high, but only 18 inches wide. The corridor enabled a relay of crew to relieve the others of their duties, as the non-stop journey of 392 miles from London to Edinburgh was too long for a single crew to perform without rest
