A down freight about to join the single line north at Gretna Green on 17 July 2008. Work was underway at the time on the redoubling of the 8 mile section to Annan, as well as construction of a second platform and installation of a footbridge at Gretna Green station. The route was closed for two weeks on 19 July for completion of the works, including replacement of the junctions, reopening as a double-track railway in early August. See 19966.
