Back in the day...

Would be fascinating to know whether you caught the re-signing of Helensburgh Upper just at the right moment or whether the ridiculous juxtaposition lasted months or years because the instructions didn’t say anything about taking the old signs down!

IIRC, that juxtaposition lasted for several months at least. The steel uprights of the big old blue enamel running-in board must have been anchored very firmly and deeply in big cement blocks inside the platform. Wish I'd managed to get hold of it....although it would have been a devil to carry home!

More Scottish diesels from the 1970s.
For many years on summer Saturdays the 17.25 Fort William to Edinburgh was load 11 or sometimes 12. It was routed via Queen St Low Level due to the length and the Glasgow portion was then detached from the rear at Cowlairs running forward from there with 6 coaches for Kings Cross (4 sleepers) and one for Edinburgh. Motive power was regularly a class 27 and a class 20. These views from around 1973 show it on the Horseshoe Curve, then approaching Crianlarich and finally running along the sea wall at Craigendoran.

Excellent! Keep them coming folks!
