This advertisement promotes the new Inter-City 125 high-speed train service to Edinburgh starting on August 20th. The ad emphasizes the train's speed, comfort, and available catering, highlighting its air-conditioned coaches, comfortable seats, and buffet bar. The service runs from London to Edinburgh and also serves areas like Dundee and Aberdeen. Passengers can purchase various tickets for travel on these trains.
The Journey Shrinker
PAGE 6
SUNDAY MIRROR, August 19, 1979
Full Inter-City 125 service to Edinburgh starts August 20th!
• Inter-City 125 is the Journey Shrinker.
It can cruise at 125 mph. Dramatically
shrinking journey times!
The full high-speed service from
London to Edinburgh will be introduced
on August 20th, when the line between
Berwick and Edinburgh reopens.
Monday to Friday there will be
eleven 125's a day from King's Cross to
Edinburgh, with two running through to
Dundee and Aberdeen. It will be only
4hr 37 min to Edinburgh by fastest
Inter-City 125.
The full service to Scotland joins the
Inter-City 125 routes from London to the
Northeast, West Yorkshire, Bristol and
South Wales. From October, 125's will
run to Plymouth and Penzance. The network
is spreading.
Superb environment
The 125 is the high comfort train.
With more space in the coaches. Bright
colour schemes. Wall-to-wall carpets.
And comfortable seats.
Coaches are air-conditioned through-
out. Sound insulation is so efficient
that the 125 is quieter at 125 mph than
a conventional train at 100 mph.
Eat, drink and relax
Catering aboard the 125 is also
special, with tasty hot or cold snacks and
drinks from the attractive Buffet Bar 125.
It all adds up to an environment in
which you can read, talk, think, eat,
drink and relax as you save time.
And on most 125's you can use the
full range of money-saving tickets-
Awayday, Weekend and Monthly Returns
-in just the same way as on other trains.
Journey Shrinkers between London and Edinburgh

Advertisement for a carpet protector that allows you to clean up any mess, including pet accidents and food spills. It claims to protect carpets and furniture from stains.
With Scotchgard carpet protector
you can wipe up Cock-a-leekie.
(And the soup as well.)
When your puppy has just marked his 'territory' all over your new carpet, you might decide your pet is a pest.
Scotchgard protector would have resisted his little present because it surrounds each carpet fibre with an invisible shield that resists spills and dirt.
So it's less likely for a leak to soak in to become a stain.
And that can keep even pure wool carpets looking good for up to three times longer.
But Scotchgard protector doesn't only work on carpets.
It's just as effective on furnishing fabrics, curtains, or even silk.
You can buy ready treated carpets and furniture or have them protected at home.
3M, Scotchgard and the Castle device are Trademarks.
If you want to know more, send off the coupon and we'll send you an amazing demonstration pack.
It'll prove that a spill will never land you in the soup, whatever the variety.
Please send me the Scotchgard protector demonstration pack. To: 'Scotchgard' Protector (CMP), ЗМ United Kingdom PLC, FREEPOST, Bracknell RG12 1BR.

This is a black-and-white advertisement that compares Cadbury's Dairy Milk Chocolate to generic chocolate bars. The ad features two chocolate bars, one labelled 'Cadbury' and the other generic. It includes two coupons: one for 5p off Cadbury's Dairy Milk and one for 5p off 'any old' chocolate.
It's your choice
You know there's no more delicious chocolate than Cadbury's. To prove the
point, we're putting our money where your mouth is! Cut out the coupon below
and save 5p on any bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk chocolate.
On the other hand, if you don't consider yourself an arbiter of good taste,
you could snip round the thinner dotted line and use the coupon towards the cost
of "any old" chocolate. It's your choice. But you're sure to choose Cadbury's.
Because...
To the Consumer: Take this coupon to your retailer, most of whom will allow you 5p off your next purchase
of any bar of block chocolate. Only one coupon can be accepted against each bar bought.
Valid until 30th November 1981.

An advertisement for the Honda Camino motorcycle, highlighting its ease of use and affordability. It emphasizes that it can be ridden without L-plates on a current car driving license.
GIVE YOUR FEET
A HAND. RIDE THE
HONDA CAMINO.
If you can ride a pushbike, you'll find it easy to
ride the Honda Camino.
Easier, in fact, because we've given your feet a
helping hand-after using the pedals to start, simply
twist your wrist and go. There are no gears or
clutch to worry about.
And if you have a driver's licence you won't even
have to take another test-it will cover
you for riding the Camino.
At £224* (inc. VAT), the Camino is excellent
value. In fact you could find that buying one over
two years costs less per month than you now pay in
fares-even allowing for tax, insurance and petrol.
You'll also find the Camino very reliable-we
warranty it for twelve months, no
matter how many miles you do.
Give your feet a hand with the easy,
economic way to get around. Talk to
your Honda Dealer about the Honda
Camino today.
