LPPC DSL CO 0214-Edit At this point on the Wirral Railway Circle’s Grand Scottish Circular Tour of April 1973, according to the schedule, it should have been dark but due to a fatality on the West Coast Main Line near Tebay we had been held up by nearly three hours at Shap. Daylight enabled this shot of our train waiting at Cowlairs after the tortuous journey around the Glasgow suburbs for a loco-change and the addition of a Restaurant Car portion to be added for breakfast to be served whilst travelling over the West Highland Line. The staff were very anxious for us to be on the way again.
