The Electric Scot Farewell......or not

29th December 2007

This railtour organised by Spitfire Railtours was advertised as the final run in the UK for the class 87s. A simple out and back tour from Birmingham to Glasgow Central. What could possibly go wrong.........

Well the modern railway can't even do something like this simply and when the TOC running the train can't be arsed to check whether their coaches work or not then a farce is bound to occur and so it was..........
