Have a feeling that rear loco was D5389 which was the only one in that variant of the livery with the small yellow panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean blue syp then no, the nearest cabside would have had a BR logo on it instead of a number, the white stripe is visible across the top of the yellow panel and small areas of white are just discernible around the windows.......it really is a green one 'resprayed' matt brown by Mother Nature 😃!!

Going back a few months I know, but this is an interesting photo. One of each class, both in the same unusual livery with a full yellow end but plain body colour around the side windows. I assume from the numbering style and lack of stripes that these are in blue, presumably an early variant? I guess there was a lot of variation in the number and logo placement as well as the amount of yellow, while the works got their heads round the new corporate livery.

60021 Pen-y-Ghent Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) 26008 at Carlisle, date unknown but possibly mid to late 80s - I'm sure someone will have a better idea than I do! It's obviously had a door swap. Edit to add: According to "Scotland's Diesel Fleet in Detail" 26008 had a bogie swap with rectangular footsteps by April 1984. In early 1985 it was reallocated to Inverness and received its black and yellow stag logos before being reallocated to Haymarket by April 1985 where it received castle logos. For comparison: www.flickr.com/photos/dwbphotos/8429693261 Can't work out what the replacement door might have come from though!

I'd doubt any suburban Mk1s ever made it up the West Highland Line and did all 'mainline' mk1s not have lavatories anyway? I dont think any didn't so wouldn't have thought it would need special labelling for that. I could be wrong, but I think its just a standard open or compartment coach with the toilet and door that way round - the composites or brake composites had the doors to the outside of the toilet.

Never noticed this kind of marker before though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never noticed this kind of marker before though. Having done some digging......... BEFORE October 1983 CL was indeed Glasgow Cowlairs.........so the branding on the stock in the 70s would have referred indeed to Cowlairs. When Cowlairs closed the CL was transferred to Carlisle Upperby. My bad! Every day a school day! Regards Guy 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
