A Railwayman's View - BR Midland Region by Peter Collins > Scotland > Galapagos 0009
Galapagos 0009 Having arrived early in the morning from Inverness in July 1973, a brisk walk across Glasgow from Queen Street to Central got us to the latter station in time to catch the 1M24 10.10 Glasgow to Birmingham, a train that later had the title Midland Scot bestowed upon it. Here, the driver of English Electric Type 4 Class 50 number 404, later to become 50004, keeps his eye on us whilst a reasonable payload of passengers get themselves organised before departure. Interestingly BR only leased this class of engines from the constructor initially.
