Correct. Although it only seemed to be stations from Glasgow to the West. Paul Strathdee posted a photo on Facebook showing the Black and Yellow signage at Queen Street. Don't know if this link works https://www.facebook.com/share/p/k23YSXLvMY8X2Guc/

And all of their Edinburgh termini!

Pretty sure everything operating in Dumbarton Town centre has to be single deck as the railway rings the North and East sides of the town with low bridges. Dumbarton garage only operates single dockers.

So do I, just made a typo! Not as bad as the old Salsburgh bus, which ran for years with Airdire on the destination blind.

There won't be a massive crowd at this game, probably around 3000. This cup has become a contentious issue for supporters of the non Premier league clubs in Scotland, the inclusion of teams from Ireland, England and Wales is barely tolerated, but the Premier League Colt teams are also included...

Shout out for my team Airdrionians playing New Saints in the Scottish Challenge Cup Final on Sunday. Hoping for a Scottish victory over the Welsh League side!

So in my previous post I had worked out that it is approximately 150m from the bridge to the end of the platform, the current slope is 1:68, so the track drops 2.2m Southerners post indicates that a lowering of 420mm is required (say 0.5m) so a drop of 2.7m. By my calculations that requires a...

Was at Eastwood Medical Centre this afternoon and noticed at least one lattice structure in place on the Clarkston side of the Neilston line bridge.

That is correct, when making the decision to electrify the Queen Street route rather than the Central low-level lines one of the factors taken into account was the more generous clearance margins available although subsequent experience with 25kV overhead operation had shown that earlier...

Beeching proposed a complete closure from Strathbungo Junction to Kilmarnock, including Barrhead and East Kilbride. After a strong and successful campaign East Kilbride was saved, so I suppose it made sense to keep Barrhead as well, also probably someone also had the foresight to see that the...

Remember reading that one Although it was always thought that the line would be reopened. Passenger services over the Central low-level lines were withdrawn on October 6, 1964, but the formation and track and signalling were retained in view of the Greater Glasgow Transportation Study then...

Class 90s, mk3s and DVTs being used on the North Berwick Branch. Millerhill Fuelling point being fully wired, never used until closure

Heavy lifting equipment currently employed at Thorntonhall Road Bridge lifting the new concrete sections into place.

Much as the improvements to internal rail services have been welcome, without a truly integrated public transport system these improvements will not achieve the aim of reducing the current reliance on car use. The Scottish bus service network is a shambles and the Scottish Government need to...
