FMCbwnegs485 25065 Perth

Perth on the 16th of August 1980 and Class 25 25065 is waiting to depart on the 10.14 service to Motherwell which comprises a mixture of Passenger and parcels vehicles.

I often used to catch a Carlisle to Perth service that left Carlisle at about 20.40 when on Scottish rovers at about this time and am wondering if this is the return service as the consist is similar.

25065 was new as D5215 to Toton in July 1963. It was a Haymarket Loco at this date and was withdrawn from there in February 1981. It was moved to Swindon Works via Kingmoor and cut up there in February 1982 (thanks Derby Sulzers for info).
