Glasgow Queen Street workings 1980s

[snookertam]

I have vague memories of Glasgow Queen Street in the 1980s, when workings were based around the following patterns:

Xx00 and xx30 Edinburgh push-pull express services

XX25 Aberdeen, every two hours on odd hours, push-pull express. Arrived at 52 on odd hours so had a long turnaround time, last one I think departed 1925.

XX07 Falkirk Grahamston local
XX37 Dunblane local

Then there were Inverness departure at 0933, 1333, 1733 (I think)
Oban at 0820, 1220 and 1820
Fort William at 0950 and 1650.

It was very uniform I think, can’t recall anything more interesting that then, can anyone confirm where there were other departures?

Oh yes before I forget, the 0930 Edinburgh was HST through to London Kings Cross I think, wit a corresponding through HST at night.

I assume that you aren’t interested in the Low Level/North Electric trains.

Were there no trains that terminated short at Cumbernauld/Stirling?

In the 1980s, didn't Cumbernauld trains operate as a shuttle from Springburn, not going to Queen Street at all?

I think you might be right actually, wasn’t it not until 1993 when the eastfield cord was built that they started running through to Queen St? What route did the Falkirk locals take? Was it via Croy?

I think everything from Queens St HL went via Croy (except the West Highland trains)

When in the 1980s as there was a fair amount of change across the decade?

I have the timetables for every year of the decade.

Cumbernauld was served by a shuttle from Springburn connecting with the Low Level, through services into QS High Level only began in 1989 IIRC, initially reversing at Eastfield until a direct facing chord opened in 1993.

A legacy of Cumbernauld being on the line which originally ran out of Buchanan Street not Queen Street.

Stirling's provision varied across the 1980s, sometimes it had regular off-peak terminators from Glasgow, sometimes from Edinburgh and sometimes only in the peaks.
