View from a less than crowded waiting room at Carstairs on 6 June 2006. 90027 is in the process of coupling up to the rear of the Lowland Sleeper, 7 coaches of which it will take on to Edinburgh Waverley, while the front portion continues to Glasgow Central.

A trial run of the new sleeper coaches from Polmadie to Arrochar and Tarbet passes Craigendoran Junction. Unexpectedly this did not pause and was able to take a run at the climb to Helensburgh Upper with a friendly hoot as it passed. (I have wondered for years what the strange brackets are seen below the train, does anyone know?)
