Dullatur?

We have just entered upon the end part of the route of the Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway with just two closed stations upon it after leaving the City of Glasgow Union Railway, then we shall be accessing the well-known Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway after that, where your last named station of Dullatur is indeed the first closed station that we shall meet on that particular line. HINT...Maryhill is the open station before we meet the two closed stations that are stated above. Remember that the Stobcross railway assumed a new lease of life when it was conjoined with the City of Glasgow Union Railway.

Rather than engage in deep historical amalgamation scenarios, the two closed stations that I had in mind were Lochburn and Possilpark.

So allowing for your posting of Dullatur, I will now post...

Paul, you flatter me that you thought I was about to do that. :)
The truth is, I was lost! :)

Wasn't there a station at Jocks Lodge between Waverley & Portobello?

That will teach me to sneak into my study to make some postings on RailUK whilst I was supposed to be checking which of my short-sleeve shirts that Patricia wanted to pack. Indeed, Jock's Lodge is a short-lived station at the start of the route, in the position to which you most correctly refer, but such was my stealth, I did not look carefully enough on my hard-copy draft....:oops:

With regard to some of my recent postings, where I have failed to look at my hard-copy draft correctly to name a station shown on it correctly, I beg indulgence of my fellow competitors as such a lack of concentration is stated to be an unfortunate part of my recovery period and of the six-item prescibed medication that I have to take on a daily basis,
