A Railwayman's View - BR Midland Region by Peter Collins > Scotland > LPPC DSL BW 0945
LPPC DSL BW 0945 July 1975 and our arrival at Perth had been by means of the Royal Highlander Euston to Inverness overnight service which we had joined at Crewe after a convivial evening in a nearby hostelry to the station there. I took this shot as I was amazed to see a William Stanier pre-BR design of sleeping car still running. The stock was the consist of the Euston to Perth sleeper which was about to head to the carriage sidings for servicing. In fact, the vehicle was scrapped not long after, in January 1976. I wonder how much sleep the vehicle’s occupants managed to obtain as they were whisked electric-hauled over the Westmoreland Fells the previous night.
