170418 in Blair Atholl (it had failed on the night before's 1810 Glasgow QS-Inverness)
47781 with n/bound sleeper in Pitlochry

We were held at Pitlochry for nearly half an hour to let the sleeper past; we were running late due to a duff engine on 170401- this then meant that the 0908 Perth-Glasgow QS would not be held for us.
158733 at Dunkeld and Birnam.

Perth
=====
158716 0930 Perth-Aberdeen (running late)
170403 0840 Edinburgh-Inverness

170401 then detatched from 158723, moved out to under the bridge just south of Perth station, and reversed into platform 7, where it waited for around 5 mins before heading back out to under the bridge, and returning to platform 4 to pick up 158723 again. The train then departed at around 1000, having spent nearly half an hour mucking about in Perth- it was meant to be in Edinburgh by this point!

Glasgow QS
==========

On arrival at Glasgow Queen St, 158732 was in platform 7 and 156450 was in platform 5. With around 10 minutes before our train left, and 158732 switched off, this was quite worrying.

Anyway, 1940 came and went,and still there were no other trains in the station. Eventually 170470 arrived, and was used to form a train to Dunblane.

170404 and 158702 arrived from Edinburgh and were duly uncoupled.

Before we left on 158702, 156467 and 158720 had arrived.

At Perth were 158735, 158738, 150283, 158715, 170403 and an unidentified 156 in the southern bays, 158734 forming our connection to Inverness and 158701+158728 in the northern bay.

4D66 1944 Inverness-Mossend passed us at Pitlochry, and the sleeper followed somewhere over Drumochter (67028 providing the power).

Millburn Yard contained 47781, 37415, 37428 and 66113, with 158725, 158704 and 158740 being in Inverness station.
