History

The service was introduced on 17 July 1933 by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.[2] Along with its companion, The Hebridean, it was a summer-only express between Inverness and the Kyle of Lochalsh connecting with steamers to the Isle of Skye and Stornoway. The Lewisman left the Kyle of Lochalsh at 5.00am, arriving in Inverness at 8.10am. A through coach for Glasgow was then attached to the 08.35am express for Glasgow, enabling a passenger to connect with the Mid-Day Scot to London.[3] The Lewisman then departed Inverness at 10.15am with the addition of a restaurant car, and arrived in the Kyle of Lochalsh at 1.40pm.

After the Second World War, the Lewisman did not reappear.

gollark: So, I want to read some values from an I2C device. Now, you might think "foolish gollark that's something like 50 lines of python at absolute most", and it is except to get anything but raw values I need to use some on-chip "digital motion processor" which is extremely poorly documented.
gollark: Yes, I was replying to ubq.
gollark: I'm having to edit and use 3000 lines of code I don't understand which is doing low-level sorcery to interface with some hardware.
gollark: What did you THINK horrible constant segfaults meant?
gollark: I said, even.
