In general the Mk2 sets were isolated to the Glasgow/Edinburgh-Aberdeen services an the Mk3 sets to the Edinburgh-Glasgow shuttles, with a couple of Glasgow-Aberdeen returns operated by the Mk3 sets. I have yet to see photographic evidence of a Mk2 rake operating the Edinburgh-Glasgow shuttles (post-1979 that is), the closest to an exception to this was a 1989 Glasgow QS-Edinburgh formed of a standard Mk3 set with one Mk3a TSO replaced by a Mk2d TSO. Not sure if its been mentioned but the Edinburgh-Glasgow formations were:
1979-1985: Class 47/7 (at the Edinburgh end)-4 Mk3a TSOs-Mk3a FO-Mk2f DBSO
1985-1990: Class 47/7 (at the Edinburgh end usually)-3 Mk3a TSOs-Mk3a CO-Mk2f DBSO
The standard Mon-Sat frequency was half-hourly with the XX:00 from Glasgow calling at Falkirk High (XX:20), Haymarket (XX:45 set-down only) and Edinburgh (XX:49), the XX:30s from Glasgow called at Haymarket (XX:13 set-down only) and Edinburgh (XX:17). From Edinburgh the XX:00 called at Haymarket (XX:04) and Glasgow QS (XX:47) and the XX:30 departures called at Haymarket (XX:34), Falkirk High (XX:55) and Glasgow QS (XX:19). Lenzie, Polmont and Linlithgow were served by a few peak services on the via Falkirk High route only, otherwise being served by the hourly all stops Glasgow-Falkirk Grahamston-Edinburgh DMU service. On Sundays the Edinburgh to Glasgow service was reduced to hourly for much of the day with services running via Falkirk Grahamston and calling at Falkirk Grahamston, Linlithgow and Haymarket.
I'm afraid that while my printer does have a scan function, I've yet to figure out how to use it! So I'll just type the diagrams up here for you. I should add that these are for 1986 just before the Mk2 sets started swapping destinations on arrival at Aberdeen and so won't match the Mk2 set diagrams I listed above.
