AN industrial dispute on the railways in the early seventies, and one passenger in Glasgow Central Station looks completely fed up as he rests his foot on his case awaiting news of his delayed train. Our first thought though is that we have become a nation of wimps as we no longer carry suitcases, but drag them on two wheels, and now the fashionable four wheels, to get from A to B. Our arm muscles must be atrophying.

It is a period of transition in society as the older men are still wearing soft hats to work, while the younger chaps are wearing their hair fashionably long without the need for a titfer. Briefcases were still de rigueur, but are now as rare as hen's teeth.

For the women, one waiting passenger is in a fur coat which is unusual these days unless you actually enjoy folk shouting at you about the murder of animals. Still, not a track suit in sight, which must be a good thing.
