Managed to catch these two at Coatbridge on the way back to Carnforth from Fort William.

The light was going fast and they were a bit close but I managed a few shots

This is what we discovered after rushing into the station.

A shunt was required at Carrog due to work being carried out on the bridge.

By now the rain had set in again.

Sherwood Forester leaving Linlithgow on the morning run.

Linlithgow Palace in the background.

Arrival at Stirling in the afternoon.

Departure from Stirling.It's a shame about that monstrsity of a bridge in the background when we still have the semaphore signals.
