A rush hour tail back just west of Croy in September 1988. The 17.25 Glasgow Queen Street - Aberdeen push-pull service is held at a red alongside the 17.14 Glasgow - Edinburgh service (led by 47 524) that has been side-lined. The cause of the jam is the 17.03 Glasgow - Dunblane service, its worn-out DMU stock then notorious for either not keeping to time or (as in this case) breaking down.
