Hi, 

 

Would anyone happen to know which loco worked the last Fort William sleeper under BR before becoming ScotRail on 1 April 1997? 

 

I don't suppose anyone was there to take a pic of it? 

 

TIA

37403 operated Fort William to Edinburgh and Edinburgh to Fort William on the 28th /29th March 1997.

 

37403 1B01 Fort Bill 28-03-1997

Flickt url / not mine. Dated 28th March 1997.

 

The class 37 site backs this up for the 29th March 1997 also.

 

It was a regular on the sleeper at this time.

 

As this put it up at FTW on sunday 30th, theres reasonable odds, but no guarentees it did Monday 31st / 1st Apr out and back also.

Oddly I was also confused by this as I was looking at some of the old BR photos on Flickr after taking a recent trip.
