Hi there and thanks for the add.
Does anyone know the reporting number and departure times of the Plymouth Sleeper and Inverness sleeper out of Edinburgh in the late 80’s?

In 1985 the overnight from Waverley to Inverness was 1H01 with the portion from Glasgow to Perth being 1L31

The southbound was 1N04 Inverness to Glasgow

I don't have the headcode of the Stirling to Edinburgh portion, but back in 1983 it was 2G10

The south west overnight was 1C77 from Waverley to Carstairs where it joined 1V62 from Glasgow. However on Friday night there was also a 1C76 / 1V60 - must have been a Paignton or Newquay I guess.

Sorry, I don't have any times.

I hope that helps.
