Description
Staying local this time, and filming at Cumbernauld again. Usually on Sunday's there isn't a lot of things happening here, besides the 22nd. Engineering trains close the line north of Dunblane, and services are replaced by buses. I went out to film a variety of these engineering services, which added some colour to a wet, dull and grey Cumbernauld!

Filmed at Cumbernauld Station.
22/02/2026.
Filming Hours: 4PM - 6PM.

This video features operators such as:

DRS.
GBRf.
Freightliner.
