Ah nothing like a bit of nostalgia now I’m retired, did the train from Stranraer to London a few times so I remember a few sights on the west coast line and of course the return journey in those days the line from Dumfries to Stranraer was still open then we’d to hop on the ferry back to larne, happy memories
I worked on the Dining Cars out of Euston 1962/63 on the Euston - Perth, I think we left Euston at 1010, Royal Scot left at 1000. we overnighted in Perth at a Railway Hostel and worked back next day. Life was much simpler then.

Hmm A4 whistles on WCML, interesting video.
