Another train ID

This time at Victoria park Bristol, 

 

The Peak 45046 appears to have the Headcode 1S61, which suggests something enroute to Scotland!!......any clues to what service this might be July 1975. The 47 is 47369.

 

Many thanks once again.

1S61 0820 Bristol to Glasgow.

0820 Bristol TM to Glasgow Central.

1S61 had been the reporting number of the late morning departure from Birmingham to Glasgow since 4-character headcodes were introduced

In that case it will be empty stock from Malago Vale carriage sidings to Temple Meads,

 

edit - and would that be the Glasgow to West Depot Freightliner service, (a Oct 1976  WTT shows 4V10 20.15 Glasgow - West Depot, due 06.08 through Bristol Parkway.)

 

cheers

Did the Freightliner still have air-braked vans and opens attached at Kingsland Road? Earlier that year, I 'revised' for my finals near Narrowhill Junction, and saw a north-bound Freightliner so formed. The vans took tobacco north, whilst the opens brought paper or board in the opposite direction.

The 1976 WTT I have shows the 4V10 as 'Exress Freight', so I think that would be the case, it still was in 1978 when I went into Bristol TOPS.

The loco would shunt and berth the flats at West Depot, then bring the tail traffic, (usually a couple of VDAs loaded for NCL ) back to Kingsland Road.
