All mid to late 80s.
EMU: Strathclyde Transport Class 303 (or 311). Usually travelling with my mum from home in Wishaw to my grandparents near Yoker. I remember playing on the old escalators at Partick while we waited to change.
DMU: I can recall vividly going with my Gran to Edinburgh from Cleland on a Class 101. The driver had the blinds open so I could see out. Unfortunately it broke down just short of West Calder, so we had to hoof it down the cess. I can still recall that it was BR blue with Trans-Clyde branding, so vivid was the memory.
LHCS: From about 1991 we would go to my uncle’s in Portsmouth every summer. I can still recall the excitement as a Swallow liveried 47 rattled into Motherwell with the rake of mixed Mk2s that would take us to Southampton Parkway (sticks in my mind as it was the morning after the Newton disaster). I was 9 at the time, and now work with people at Motherwell S&T that responded to the incident.
