47001 Was not one of my regular Scottish duffs even though I was living in Scotland at the time

I only ever had three runs with 47001, and they were all in Scotland:
Mossend - Perth and Carstairs - Edinburgh in 1979, and Edinburgh - Inverness in 1982 on the internal overnight.
As you say, it wasn't supposed to be a Scottish loco, but it seemed to hang around there quite a bit.

47001 Was not one of my regular Scottish duffs even though I was living in Scotland at the time

CW2:
I only ever had three runs with 47001, and they were all in Scotland:
Mossend - Perth and Carstairs - Edinburgh in 1979, and Edinburgh - Inverness in 1982 on the internal overnight.
As you say, it wasn't supposed to be a Scottish loco, but it seemed to hang around there quite a bit.

I only had three runs behind 47001 as well; 30/11/1974 when it was allocated to CF between Dawlish and Newton Abbot. The only other date I had it for haulage was 18/10/1975 on a Plymouth to Cambridge and return Adex for a whopping 599 miles and 63 chains. That was more than enough.

What happened there? Was there a blockage between Cowlairs and Westerton that was cleared up later in the morning?

Had this happen a few times back then, quite possibly a signal issue failing that the boiler was not working and they turned the 37 at Eastfield.
