Waverley is a paddle steamer - The Waverley is a named express of yore recalled in a modern excursion itinerary

 

I though the paddle steamer was called "PS Waverley". "Waverley" is a novel by Sir Walter Scott.

 

Any news on today's run? Presumably 46115 in charge?

 

Yes.....

 

No, the ship's name is 'Waverley'. The prefix PS simply indicates what her propulsion is, in this case Paddle Steamer. Others are MV, which is Motor Ship (ie diesel); SS, which is Steam Ship. Steam turbine ships are sometimes prefixed TSS; that dates from the time when there were still many reciprocating engine steam ships about.

Then you have RMS, which was given, regardless of propulsion type, to ships which carried Royal Mail cargo, such as those on the South Africa run, RMS Windsor Castle, RMS Pendennis Castle etc

Titanic was RMS too, of course, as were most of the British trans-Atlantic liners
