Hampshire (nearly a Hog)
Kilbowie Road (aka Singer Works)

PS - there is a slip of the keyboard in the itinerary - travelling via the Welsh Highland would have been tricky! :)

Harking back to the abovementioned, there are two points to note....

1) ... The journey preamble now reads "West Highland Railway".... :oops:

2) ... Singer Works was a station on the Glasgow, Dumfries and Helensburgh Railway, whereas Kilbowie Road was a station on the Lanarkshire and Dunbartonshire Railway.
