The BLS 'Clydeside Wanderer' railtour on 25 August 1979 outside Greenock (Union Street) Tunnel. The train did not enter the tunnel, the Clyde Port Authority ownership boundary was immediately at the Greenock end of the tunnel and BR wasn’t willing to stop and change ends to reverse the train inside the tunnel.

On 26 August 1979 the Branch Line Society ran a tour from Dundee to Brechin. This line closed to passengers in 1952 and eventually to all traffic in 1981. In 1993 a small section of the line at the Brechin end opened as a preserved railway. I believe the formation of the train to have been 50254 + 59303 + 50144. Jeremy Chapter.
