I remember them and also a “Record your own voice” machine at Perth station where for the princely sum of about 3/6 you could make your own record. I pestered my parents to let me do this to no avail, wouldn’t have bee much point anyway as we didn’t possess a record player.
It was at one time but if my memory serves me correctly most recently it was Irvine, I’d need to look at an old timetable to check. Also, previously the express would stop at Paisley GS to pick up only, the most recent ones didn’t.
