Nicely lit Scotrail Class 156 no. 156450 has just arrived very late on the 1Y25 10.36 Glasgow Queen Street to Oban service. 70 minutes late to be precise. It was to have formed the return service, due to leave at 14.41, but that service was operated by no. 156474 instead, which arrived soon after, on time with its later service from Glasgow, and consequently blocked in no. 156450. This unit was used on the local train to Dalmally instead. Not a good day for time keeping on the Oban line.
