8th July 1978

Class 105 Cravens unit SC51475 heads for Dundee station at Buckingham Junction Dundee on 8/7/1978. It had come out of the depot, and was heading to the station. To do so it had to come out of the depot to Buckie Jn., then reverse to the station. The tail light would be correct for the move out of the depot and then also for the service it would form to Edinburgh/Glasgow. The line between the DMU and the Tay Bridge lines had at one point been used to store Class 100 driving trailers when they had been taken out of use. Derek Hoskins.
