A dip into old timetables is always a pleasure, but does serve to remind you how poor a service could often be sustained compared with the level on surviving lines today. This extract from the timetable for Lanark, Carstairs and Muirkirk winter 1960-61 shows a scanty service on the Muirkirk branch when you consider that 'E' and 'S' were the equivalents of 'SX' adn 'SO'. Even the service from Glasgow to Lanark was infrequent - and slow! 'D' meant a diesel service (DMU, probably). 12/09/1961
Location: Plates, signs, notices etc
Company: Muirkirk Branch (Caledonian Railway)
