Last trains and closed lines - Some idea of what has happened to Scotlands railways since1960 - with a small diversion South of the border.

In the last 40 years whole sections of Scotlands railways have been removed and locomotives scrapped. Over this time I have seen derelict locomotives, travelled on last trains and seen lines lifted. These are a few of my own pictures.

Please contact me if these bring back any memories or thoughts - sandy@gardentrains.co.uk
