Edinburgh to Oban (158)?

 

[SteveyBee131]

Edinburgh to Oban (158)?

A 158 would only be timed for 90mph (clue 1 asks for 100mph), and I think I'm right in saying 158s don't go to Oban

 

[A Challenge]

156, whoops, which I think is 100mph?

I'm thinking Glasgow Queen Street - Elgin by Class 170, but at the moment RTT only shows a Perth - Elgin due to engineering south of there.

Yes! It shows in the timetable, so I thought it was reasonable.

 

[RJ21]

And it is quite reasonable, I thought I remembered it being in the timetable just had to trawl into December for it to reappear in RTT due to NR doing their electrification work.
