Hellifield Diversion
47 703 "Saint Mungo" heads a southbound WCML diversion on a winter Sunday in 1980. Why do they not use the S&C for diversions today?
Kentigern, known as Mungo, was an apostle of the Scottish Kingdom of Strathclyde in the late 6th century, and the founder and Patron Saint of the city of Glasgow.
The station building and canopy were in a very dilapidated condition at this time and seemed to be a prime candidate for demolition before restoration took place.
Taken at a time when there was a more relaxed attitude to health and safety and if I stood at this spot today I would be amongst the trees!
A scan of a very grainy 35mm image, must be on Ektachrome 400.
