Passengers exit Cardross station via the pedestrian footbridge on 27 July 2005, having recently disembarked from a Helensburgh bound train. The motor cyclist is forced to wait for the train to clear the level crossing before recommencing his journey. View north along Station Road towards the junction with the A814.
Location: Cardross
Company: Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway
