True. It was all a bit confusing. Thank god for Railmaponline.com

Judging by the render shown in this post, yes.

A very Glaswegian end to a fine building. Sad to see.

Nice phoaties. Is it just me but is modern day catenary a whole lot uglier than the older stuff?

I thought it was an interesting enough watch. It's on YT if anyone hasn't seen it.

(Not sure what the question was here but...) Glasgow Buchanan Street only had 5 passenger platforms. It had a huge goods yard to the east side of the site. Had Glasgow North ever been built, then it would've been a 14-platform terminus instead, but we'd have said goodbye to Queen Street High...

It's alright, I suppose. Pity the original bridge couldn't have been raised up in the same position.

Originally, QS High Level had 9 platforms and the Low Level had 4 platforms, however they weren't numbered but lettered A, B, C and D. When the Low Level was electrified in 1960 the 4 platforms were reduced to 2 and presumably this is when they became 10 and 11. The High Level layout was changed...

Stirling doesn't have a Platform 1. It's a car park now.

Ayr has two bays and two through platforms. I *think* the dangerous bit of the hotel is towards the south part of the through lines. Something will have to be done (I've lost track of what's happening with it) and the station will definitely lose a lot of character if, or when, the building is...

Largs. Used to have 4 platforms, 6 tracks, an overall roof and a number of sidings. Platform 1 was lifted and closed in the 70s and electrification in the 80s reduced the station to 2 tracks. The overall roof was still in place until 1995 when 318 254 decided it wanted to get a look at Largs...

No way! Save our railway bothies.

Bellgrove junction was also turned into a single lead, which was a factor in the crash there in 1989.

The only request stops I've used are both on the FW - Mallaig line - Lochailort and Loch Eil Outward Bound. Can't help get paranoid that the train won't stop when you're waiting. A button would be very welcome.

Would the trains running under OHLE be recharging the batteries as it goes?

Gilshochill on the Maryhill line opened in December 1993 as Lambhill before being renamed on 24 May 1998.

Yes, that was a proposal drawn up in 1983 and the document can be found on the Scot Rail discussion board. What's noticeable in the report is that they state public transport journeys had fallen in the previous 25 years. I'd imagine it's a far different picture now...

Historically, Whifflet Upper and Whifflet Lower.
