    British Rail Scotrail-Glasgow Queen Street 1989

    Don't know why the Youtube Algorithm thinks I want to see this, I'm not a train spotter!

    I can remember travelling on that inter-city down to London. I can even remember our folks treated us bairns with an upgrade to 1st and I had something equivalent to roast beef and taties. Wonder how much that ticket was. Probably not the cost of a flight to Thailand that it is today.

    I hope they did not make Her Majesty open window at stop to bend over in order to open it from the outside

      My Youtube recommends covered train vids now - make it stop!! Gonna make me home sick...

      Scotrail were sneaky, "Scotrail bought the recently refurbished GWR HST trains they pulled from service, and then branded them Scotrail, Scotrial didn't do the interior refurbishment though that was GWR when they owned them"

            There's been a lovely series about Glasgow Central station on BBC:
            BBC Scotland - Inside Central Station, Series 1, Episode 1

            Maybe they should do one about Queen Street too?
