A very busy 158701 stops at Plockton station with 2H82, the 12:08 Kyle - Inverness. A brief delay, searching for a missing wallet, caused the train to arrive in Inverness 5 minutes late, just in time to see the Glasgow connection depart from the adjacent platform - that's an "integrated passenger transport network" for you !!

158702 runs into Plockton with 2H82, the 12:08 Kyle - Inverness. Repainted into Saltire livery earlier this year, 158702 also appears to have lost both it's nameplates. If any contractors/builders view this shot, I'd be interested to hear your opinion on the repair work carried out on the platform edge.

Resplendent in freshly applied Saltire livery, 158708 pulls into Plockton station with 2H81, the 08:55 Inverness - Kyle. The unit was repainted at Springburn a few weeks earlier. The much-maligned Rhododendrons add a splash of seasonal colour to the rampant vegetation at the station.

This looks like an early start, waiting at Plockton for the 07:25 Kyle - Inverness. Nowadays, however, this would be considered a long lie; for the 2009 season, the early train was re-timed, and departure is now at 06:15 from Kyle, 06:28 at Plockton.
