Inches: Extract from the Scottish Region working timetable Section B effective 17th June 1957. Poor services like this were a gift to bus companies with their cheaper fares, something you will read time and again in contemporary accounts. I wonder how long that 13 minutes at Inches felt when you were in a hurry to get home?

Woodacre Crossing: Avanti vinyls are being applied to the Pendolino fleet, but in quite a lot of cases only to the driving cars so far, although this still really improves the appearance from the unliveried sets. 390141 heads south at Woodacre, alongside yet another stretch of new green palisade fencing, on 29th July 2020. This installation was probably inevitable after livestock strayed onto the line the previous summer. See image [[70120]].
