Was watching a DVD of Central Station between the late 80s and late 00s. One of the first clips was of 50009 and 50036 hauling a long rake of Mk1 coaches coming into Glasgow Central on Saturday the 14th Of May 1988. The service departed from Birmingham New Street at 0830 and had the headcode of 1Z46. It also had the headboard The Hoover Dambuster. I noticed that there were large crowds waiting on the other platforms watching the train come in.
What was the significance of this service and the headboard?
