Hi,
I'm writing a novel that includes a group of friends traveling from Tamworth in Staffs to Glasgow by train.
It's set in 1982, so I wondered if anyone knows what the likely station stops between those two points would have been back then in the 80s, or from Birmingham New Street to Glasgow.
I'm looking for a route that heads west and passes the Lake District rather than one that goes along the east coast and that seems to exist today. I can guess at potential stops - Crewe, Warrington, Preston, Lancaster, Penrith, Carlisle and Lockerbie - but would rather have them exactly right from 1982 if possible.
Many thanks,
Mike
