History
The service was introduced on 17 July 1933 by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.{{cite news |author= |title=Scots names for Scots trains |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0001168/19330613/045/0002 |newspaper=Shields Daily News |location=England |date=13 June 1933 |access-date=25 November 2017 |via=British Newspaper Archive |url-access=subscription }} 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.{{cite book |last=Nock |first=Oswald Stevens |date=1961 |title=Scottish Railways |url= |location= |publisher=T. Nelson |page= |isbn= |author-link= }} 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.
