Mike Godfrey took a trip to Oban and Mallaig and his report is below: -
 
Glasgow Queens Street.
43034/131, 156478, 158729, 385103/117/120.
 
Dalmuir. 318261.
 
Ardlui. 153305, 156458.
 
Loch Awe. Coach 4494 Mk 1 TSO.
 
Oban. 156478
 
Crianlarch. 156446/450/458
.
Spean Bridge. 156493/499.
 
Rannoch. Coach LNER 2703 (Vintage Carriage Survey questions this identification as shown in ST Publications Preserved Coaches 2021)
 
Fort William. 66741, 73967. Sleeper Coaches 15008/109/210/201/302/303/312/339.
 
Glenfinnan. 66746/746 (hauling the Royal Scotsman Stock missed the lot). Coaches, 3767; 35215, both MK 1.
 
Mallaig. 156450/458, Steam 45407.
 
Arasaig. Steam 44871.
 
Glenfinnan. 156457/500.
 
Fort William. 45212. There were also two Class 37’s blocked by coaching stock.
Due to staff shortages the service from Mallaig, 156450/458, was terminated at Fort William, with a bus to Crianlarich. On arrival low and behold the two 156’s we left behind in Fort William rolled into the station ECS. I can only assume there was no Train Manager available.
 
Crianlarich. 156450/456/458 working as 1Z48 to Queens Street.
 
Ardlui. 156446/493.
 
Glasgow Queens Street. 15729, 385013/018.
