Late Afternoon at Perth, 3rd October 2026

 


43026 and set HA21 1T50 15:35 Aberdeen - Glasgow Queen Street. This power car was new from BREL Crewe in October 1976, so is now 50 years old.


43148 was on the rear of the set.


43149 with set HA06 1A51 16:38 Glasgow Queen Street - Aberdeen, a further working of a train set seen earlier in the day.


A closer view of 43149.



800112 approaching with 1S12 10:30 Kings Cross - Inverness.


The same set under the overall roof. A large part of this was removed in the 1960s, in particular on the west side - I did see that scene before the roof was removed. Now it seems that Network Rail would like to remove it, to expose the 1848 building by Sir William Tite, which lies behind the train, which stands where the horse drawn carriages would then approach the station, until extension was made in 1885.


66428 Carlisle Eden Mind arrives with 4D47 13:37 Inverness - Coatbridge.


66428 coasts to a timetabled stop of about 30 minutes in platform 4.
