31/12/1960 Glasgow Suburban Electrification From its anauguration in early November, this proved very popular, the number of passengers more than doubled, but the 'Blue Trains' were dogged by teething troubles which culminated in the transformer explosion in the 7 a.m. Balloch-Bridgeton near Renton on 13th Dec., when the guard and several passengers were seriously injured-an even more destructive explosion had taken place in a train at Charing Cross during a trial run on 30th Oct. Hurried modifications were made in the cooling oil reservoirs so that any leaking gas would be dispelled, but, following a fire under a Helensburgh train near Easterhouse on Saturday, 17th Dec., the decision to withdraw temporarily the service, was made by the General Manager at 3-30 a.m., on 18th Dec.; this was not entirely unexpected as instructions had already been issued to bring engines back into steam. No service was operated that day and the electric trains were transferred, under power to Hyndland depot and Ardmore sidings, while the former steam sets were re-distributed, some of them having been stored at Craigendoran but others had to be brought from as far afield as Dumfries. Many of the locos. were still at Parkhead or Eastfield, some out of action and others used on freight work or the Singer works trains, but at least two V3s (67607/79) had been transferred to Hurlford to replace class 2P's on Kilmarnock locals and others were earmarked for Ardrossan.
From Monday, 19th December, the timetable operated by steam trains prior to 5th Nov. was restored, with additional calls at the new Hyndland and Garscadden stations which have had their island platforms lengthened by temporary wooden extensions. Trains which formerly used Hyndland terminus now 'run round' in Yoker yard. Minor alterations include the starting of two morning trains from Coatbridge instead of Easterhouse. There is no Sunday service and trains are one class only as previously, the workings are shared between Gresley 2-6-2Ts and Ivatt c1.4 2-6-0s (also some standards including 76090/4 from Corkerhill), with an occasional B1 and all trains consist of seven non-corridor coaches of mixed Gresley and early LMS stock. During the first week most were running 10-15 minutes late, the main trouble being lack of water columns which results in much additional empty stock workings, although matters have not been helped by a spell of wintry weather.
The freight workings of Helensburgh shed had been transferred to Dumbarton when the shed was closed after 5th Nov., but it was re-opened from 19th December. On the Central Low Level (Glasgow) Line, a number of trains cut back to Dumbarton or Dalmuir are running through to Balloch again. On withdrawal of the electrics it was officially stated that they would be off for 'anything from a few weeks to six months'; it is now believed that full services may be restored in March and night trials have been taking place on the Milngavie branch. The findings of the M. of T. enquiry held in Glasgow on 22nd and 23rd December, were that the explosions were due to inflammable vapour from the cooling oil of the train transformers being ignited by an electrical spark. These reservoirs are now to be moved outside the guard's compartment for more effective air-cooling.
