Largs

The 1353 Largs - Kilwinning formed by 156432 and running as 1Z14 on Saturday 23rd May 2020. High winds and storms on this date presumably resulted in withdrawal of electric services because of the exposed stretch between Stevenston and Saltcoats. The unit is shuttling between Kilwinning and Largs. A further presumption is that ScotRail have plenty of spare diesels sitting around due to the reduced services currently operating as a result of the virus pandemic. Often the service is just suspended when this happens. Photograph by Stewart J Brown and published with his permission.
