A1 Pacific 60152 'Holyrood' passes Norton Crossing with a Birmingham - Glasgow express, 6/4/53. br/'In a break with A1 routine, No. 60152 paid a visit to the ex-Caledonian Railway works at Cowlairs for non-classified repairs on 23rd June 1951 before returning to Doncaster on 27th October 1952 for a general overhaul and its first boiler change, leaving ‘The Plant’ on 21st November carrying boiler No. 29841 and BR express passenger green, lined in orange and black with the early BR emblem on the tender. Holyrood was promptly sent back to Polmadie shed again, arriving there just after Christmas, to resume its work on the WCML, being recorded on the 11:50hrs Crewe-Glasgow service on St. Valentine’s Day and its regular turn on the West Coast Postal on 14th April 1953. After minor attention at Cowlairs and Polmadie in April and May respectively, No. 60152 was moved back to Haymarket on 29th June for a stay that would last ten years.
