Millerhill was live before Craigentinny, I have photographs of class 91s stabled in the yard during driver training runs.

The section from Airdrie to Drumgelloch can claim to have been opened as a single track, doubled, closed to passengers, singled, closed to freight, reopened a single track, electrified, temporarily closed and doubled!

There was another one uses on Ayrshire Coal Trains for a propelling mive

Old article from Rail Magazine, think it was around 1998, says the tunnel could have been open by 2005. 1770895376 The last time that scheduled passenger trains used platforms 1 and 2 to access the link to High Street was the weekend before the Blue Trains came into service, the line through...

Think this is something I posted on FB! A number of years ago I sketched up this very idea on my Website "Lowland Locomotives", it was not based on any official schemes, just something that I thought would be a possibility, but I did not include closure of Queen Street. It is still described...

The Glasgow Mystex trains were usually out of season utilisation of the stock used for summer dated services, hence the fairly inevitable destinations of Morcambe, Blackpool or York (truncated Scarborough service). The Southport and Chester runs were unusual though.

Glasgow Central to Chester (twice) Glasgow Central to Morecambe Glasgow Queen Street to York

When Carstairs was being rebuilt in the early 1970s, the platform was shortened at the south end but before the equivalent extension was constructed at the North end, the few WCML services running via Carstairs had to double draw at the station.

Just noticed that three DMU services next Monday are advertised to stop at Kinneil during the Winter Diesel Gala.

A really odd one is Kinneil Halt on the Bo'ness and Kinneil railway. It still appears in the name of the railway and in the timetable but no trains show as stopping.

Surely you could do it one unit at a time?

Another Scottish example is Hamilton Central, The station used to have four lines running through between two platforms. The central two through lines were removed in the 1950s. The Glasgow bound platform is an original with the Motherwell bound platform a replacement built approximately where...

Platform 3 at Queen Street High Level, used to be 3 tracks between platforms 2 and 3, what is now platform 3 Road was a carraige siding. Think there are a couple of new platforms at Edinburgh Waverley built on thd site ofvold sidings

Well Mariah Carey would definitely be a war crime!

Surprised that the Waverley Route hasn't been mentioned. If the line as a whole had been stripped back to a basic single track line with minimal costs for a period, later developments such as RETB could have saved the southern section while the Northern section as we have seen has been a great...

Some building took place to ease potential pinch points that could pose a problem in the event of attack. One that immediately comes to mind is the WCML just north of Carlisle Citadel, where an additional two tracks were laid including a second bridge over the Caldew and Eden
