7th August 1971

S.R.P.S.
The Maid of Morven

Loco Used 5176 (and 5178? (1))
Stock Used Booked to be formed of SRPS stock

Route :

Loco(s) Route
5176 Falkirk Grahamston - Westerton - Oban
5176 Oban - (?reverse of outward route?) - Falkirk Grahamston

Notes :
(1) Contemporary sources mention the use of 5178 working this tour to Oban but this is believed to be in error. SRPS Archivist Brian A. Knights gives the loco ID as 5176 throughout and John McIntyre photographed the train at Cardross after coming off the West Highland line when 5176 was definitely working the train.
