Fort Matilda

James Miller was a noted architect with many railway commissions
including the chalet-style station buildings of the WHL.  His 1889 Fort Matilda is similarly not your standard idea of a late-Victorian
station.  The chimneys reach high above an already steeply pitched roof making for a prodigiously tall single-storey building!  The station is unstaffed but in excellent condition.  334 015 calls at this colonial-sounding Greenock location with a Glasgow service on 1 September.
