WEDNESDAY 27th MAY 1981:
Another after-work trip to Garelochhead to spend the night with my parents:
303 047 Hyndland-Glasgow QS LL (08 01 Milngavie-Airdrie)
37 085+27 103 18 21 Glasgow QS HL-Garelochhead (to Oban. Consist: SC4110/4145/4133/21184 Load 4 VB/SH)
The 37/27 combo was a pleasant surprise. Maybe the 27 was required at Oban for a ballast working that night?

It's the sort of outrageous pairing you get at some diesel galas, but in this case 100% authentic.

Plus the diversions via Worcester when a 37 would get attached to the front as a pilot loco.
Happy days.
The worst one that I had, the train was 2 hours late from Bristol due to problems in Cornwall. After doing the Chester triangle we got stuck in a block at Carnforth and had to wait for the work to be completed. Eventually getting to Edinburgh 6 hours late.

Indeed. There was back then a few weeks when all manor of 37s turned up on the North Wales Coast. Some issue with the 37/4s I believe. Only had the one day myself, but that was pretty good!
Oddly I remember what I was doing on that day. Was only still a child but we went on a beach trip to Colwyn Bay (not by train sadly), it was hot and sunny.
As a regular 80s Direct user I pick up on subtle details about these sorts of workings. it looks like (from your earlier postings) May 1978 was when this service went over from 12VEP to 8VEP/4CIG (as it was in the 80s).
I also remember 7736 didn't appear to exist in the 80s. It was missing from the Ian Allan books. Presumably involved in some kind of accident? Also, 7387 was a Brighton unit by my time.
8SUB, which very much dates this as a period "before my time", hence why your late-70s posts are so fascinating.
33s on Exeter services, likewise. Incidentally one thing I do remember from the 80s is how a couple of named examples, "The Burma Star" and "Earl Mountbatten of Burma", were seen as being rare and hard to see. Not sure why, but they didn't appear on services through Woking much (and I never actually saw them...)
BIGs on '82's, and VEP/BIG combos (both of which have come up in a previous thread) does also!

7736 was involved in the collision outside Portsmouth Harbour station on 27th April 1980. I believe that its two undamaged vehicles were reformed into 7847, with which it had collided.
