A scene almost unrecognisable nowadays.Taken from what is now a tram track, a Strathclyde red livered 3 car DMU accelerates away from Haymarket with a Fife service one evening in August 1987. This comprises most of set 107436, but the rear car has been substituted with a Metro Cammell vehicle in place of 52024. Bunyan’s coal lorry can be seen on the left, and the Distillery is still in operation on the right. Murray Liston.
