The driver finishes at Glasgow Central after taking M11 to Preston and S26 back, with the driver who brings loco to attach to rear, taking train to Polmadie
A colleague of mine once went over someone in the four foot on a 150, slammed on brake thinking he was going to hit them, when he came to a stand, looked back out window to see person running away!
There were also jobs in Sligo and Galway on last recruitment, there was another on west coast but can't remember where, wasn't somewhere I was familiar with.
At moment drivers change at Crewe and Carlisle so nobody booked to run Euston to Carlisle, the Sleeper staff change over at Lockerbie currently, so no lodging away for them.
in 88/89 they used to run Edinburgh/Bathgate/Edinburgh/Dundee/Edinburgh complete with trolley service (nowhere to put down you drink or sandwich). They also done the odd North Berwick around then as well, again there was one that came from Dundee and went through to North Berwick in evening.
The guy in the middle is wearing a guards uniform, from the time, I'd hazard a guess and say guy second from left is second man as recognise him from being a driver at Aberdeen fairly recently. Don't recognise any of the others though.
Was shortage of 101 DMU's at Waverley one morning in late 80's and I had to take empties from Inverness sleeper for rush hour service from Dunbar, so they got a 47, 2 mark 3 sleepers and 2 mark 2 seated coaches.
