Bridgeton

334 001 Donald Dewar passes through Bridgeton on a warm 17 June with a Larkhall to Dalmuir service.  It is passing at no great speed, fooling people on the platform into thinking that it's a stopping service then, when it's clear that it's not going to stop, obliging them to pretend to each other that they knew this all along.  For the reopening of the former Bridgeton Cross station in 1979 it was presumably thought a good idea to spell out 'Bridgeton' between double arrows in individually framed letters, but they are simply too far apart for it to be effective.
