    Neil, 70014 is on Crewe (South) not North, as stated.
    I am sure someone will know 72003's location.

    Re 72003 from the style of the signals I would say definitely in Scotland.The stabled GPO vans would really only really be found at a major terminal.I'll put my head above the parapet(the first 5 clans spending most of their lives at Polmadie) and guess it is about 1-2 miles south of Glasgow Central .
