Glasgow Central
Britannia Pacific 70009 'Alfred the Great' pictured awaiting clearance to reverse away from Glasgow Central to the depot at Polmadie. The date was 30th December 1966, so steam haulage of a West Coast mainline express had come as a surprise. The train was the 9am from Manchester and Liverpool and arrival had been an hour late, probably caused by an earlier diesel failure.
