 The name that was to be bestowed on the first class member caused great debate on the Committee and the wider executive of British Railways . However noted enthusiast Bishop Eric Treacy suggested the name " Britannia " . This set the general theme of the naming process , which featured great Britons , although several deviations from the theme were allowed . These exceptions were allocated to those that operated on the Western Region , which were given names of former Star Class locomotives , and those of the Scottish Region , which were granted the names of the various Scottish firths . The locomotive naming ceremonies were carried out at various railway stations around the British Railways network . No. 70047 was never named .
