After being dragged from Preston to Carlisle via the S&C, 390015's pantograph wouldn't rise at Carlisle so 57313 continued its drag to Glasgow Central. 57309 was brought from Polmadie to take the empty Pendolino out of Glasgow Central. In this video we see the coupling of 57309 to 390015. 26/04/2008.
This is an 'step' forward, in the old days the loco would of been coupled up and the train ready to go in no time,,,seems alot of messing around this new system!

I was about to do that yesterday and the guy drew the barrier across in front of me! I thought right, not arguing with you, mush!

Not sure why the one shunter takes up such a stupid position when the obvious place of safety is the platform!

Did they not block off the platform after passengers had got off the Pendolino? I see them doing that. Sucks cause I would like to snap pics of the Pendolinos there from Platform 1/2.
