A DMU formation departs from Glasgow Central circa mid-1970s. Largs (or some of Largs as the blind seems to be ripped) is the destination shown, but it could be an ECS as there are no signs of passengers. Or, as there are at least seven cars, maybe the passengers got on at the rear. Leading are two-thirds of Class 116 set 152 - SC50821 closest, followed by a Class 122, a three-car Class 107, then another cab front can be seen of an unknown type.
