Historic Far North Line Info.

Evening all,

Hopefully someone can furnish me with a bit of info on the Train services out of Inverness in June of 1993.

Request 1
The wife and I travelled out of Inverness to Dunrobin Castle on Thursday June 17th.
We returned the same day from Golspie.
Can anyone give me the times and headcodes of the trains in the morning from Inverness and the times and headcodes of the trains from Golspie in the afternoon.

Request 2
On Friday 18th June 1993 we travelled up we caught 1H11 Aviemore to Inverness which I think started in GLQ. Anyone able to tell me the time off of Aviemore?

Request 3
On Monday 21st June we travelled to Muir of Ord on 2H83 INV-KYL.
We then visited the distillery and then travelled back to INV on 2H56 which I think is an ex Thurso/Wick. Would anyone know the time at Muir of Ord?

Thanks in advance,

From the 17/5/1993 all lines timetable:

1. a.m. trains from Inverness at 0712 and 1100; p.m. from Golspie at 1315 and 1728.

2 & 3 timetable pages attached as I do not know the headcodes. Note there was a revised timetable on the Far North from 21 June. Would not know of any other local amendments.

As an aside that looks like a great trip. What was the haulage / rolling stock at that date? Had it already gone over to sprinters by 1993?
