Thanks to “TC” for looking up both the late Driver Phil’s and his own moves from that Summer Saturday in July 1984
TC’s moves
“I was on the last day of my first FOS. Like you I was expecting better than 86207 on 1S23. I had to get home that day so it was a few hours knocking around Edinburgh. The gen on 37104 and 26029 was known, I remember 47405 went forward on the 09.45 Dundee – Kings Cross, a required Generator at the time, but i had to travel back via the WCML as my validity was from Carlisle” The unknowns are almost certainly 47’s and the result of a bag being stolen from our car around five years later.
