The Blue Train name is adopted

node

The service, withdrawn in 1942 for the war, returns in 1946 under the name passengers had already given it. The formalising of a nickname is a small marker of a large change: the train is no longer principally a connection to a ship but a thing sold for itself, and it will outlive the mail-steamer schedule that created it.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
