Notes :
(1) Rab Jacobs comments: The locos were driven in tandem from Helensburgh Upper to Oban and back to Edinburgh due to faults with multiple working system.
(2) Mark Herriott comments: The train departed late from Edinburgh due to waiting stock from the sidings. Train was held at Springburn waiting for a line possession to be lifted. Further delays were experienced at Connel Ferry where the train was delayed owing to RETB issues.
