    A last shot at Grantshouse is of 91106 running about 30 minutes late working 1S21 1100 Kings Cross to Glasgow Central. It is unlikely the deficit will be made up on reaching Scotland's second city.
    This location is near Reston and is about 8 miles from the England - Scotland border. The down "Highland Chieftain" comes north with 43120 and 43119 on either end of the HST set. The train details are 1S24 1200 Kings Cross to Inverness.
    I had just about given up on this working and was about to leave when I heard it approach. 60091 still wears its Trainload Coal subsector livery and is booked to 6E30 1329 Dalzell to Lackenby empty steel flats.
