Class 126 DMU at Hillington East

×

Details

The Way it Was. Swindon Inter-City 126 420 and classmate racing towards Hillington East station on the 15:15 Ayr to Glasgow Central service. The quadruple tracks were reduced to two tracks with electrification to Gourock and Wemyss Bay in 1967. Much of the electrification steelwork was founded in the formation vacated by the fast lines. At least there were still two through routes to the Ayrshire coast at that time, one via Paisley Canal and this via Paisley Gilmour Street. However, this scene has much changed and a third track (electrified) has been installed as part of capacity improvements between Shields Junction and Paisley. Alas, the Paisley Canal line is no longer a through route. Saturday 30 May 1981.
