Carstairs

Saturday 1st May 1971 was the last day when signalmen at Carstairs No. 2 box (situated just north of the station) would see normal daytime traffic pass their windows. From the following Monday the WCML in Scotland would only be open for the heavy night-time traffic, with trains diverted via the G&SW during the day in order for electrification works to proceed unhindered.
