Summary
[edit]
| Description |
On a Pathfinder Railtours excursion to Stranraer on 11 September 2021. A view from the train standing in Stranraer (Harbour) station, looking out to sea, with a ferry just leaving the shelter of the bay. The rusty rails show that these tracks have not been used for a long time - a local opinion said not for eight years - and the signal box is likewise not used, although maintained and tested at regular intervals. At one time this was a very busy station, with large numbers of passengers transferring from train to ferry for Northern Ireland, but the last of these ferries moved its Scottish terminal to the former military port at nearby Cairnryan in 2011. As the freight had gone from rail already, that left only the small town and its hinterland of some 13,000 people to generate business on a forty mile branch that only otherwise serves the village of Barrhill. |
