Blue and Grime..

Taken around 1962

 

Glasgow 'Blue Train' A/C EMU 009 at Glasgow Central station, on a dull day in around 1962.

These had entered service in 1960 - after some initial failures - and later became 'Class 303', and were refurbished - with flat front windscreens - in the mid-1980s.

The last example was withdrawn in 2002, and one unit has been preserved, at the Bo'ness and Kinneal Railway.

Restored from a faded unfocussed motion-blurred cyan-colour-shifted original..

Original slide - property of Robert Gadsdon
