Don't push it! (1): The 11.05 Aberdeen to Glasgow Queen Street silently glides out of Perth station, lead by DBSO (Driving Brake Second Open) no. 9702. The DBSO was converted from a Mark 2f coach for push-pull operations in Scotland, primarily between Glasgow and Edinburgh, but also, as can be seen here, on other key routes too. Shoving at the rear will be Class 47/7 "Shove Duff" no. 47714 "Grampian Region".
