Hi all. Yesterday I had a day to myself and ventured out down to Edinburgh during the day and Dumbarton Central at night. I travelled via the new Airdrie - Bathgate line to Dumbarton from Edinburgh last night and was good experience apart from the train was short formed and crowded come Haymarket station. Also the train was delayed by some 15 minutes at Airdrie due to the common thing (recently) of their being no driver to work the train. Anyway, a good day all in all. Photographs from yesterday can be found below.
