Polmaise Junction
In the late 1980s, ScotRail became well known for retrieving life-expired DMUs from around the UK and creating Frankenstein sets that subsequently lurched around Central Scotland wheezing clouds of diesel fumes. Swindon, Cravens, Derby, Birmingham and MetCam cars were variously mixed and reshuffled as one or other car suffered terminal failure. Shown here is a Swindon/MetCam hybrid heading towards Stirling in September 1988 with a Swindon car at the rear. On the left is Polmaise box and on the right is the disused Polmaise colliery branch.
