The original station was opened on March 28, 1864 . Closed to passengers May 5, 1957, and completely closed November 11, 1963. Thank you for the sad travel back in time, but the refreshing view of the remains today. Your videos are always consistently realistic and informative, Andy. Thank you to your travel partner also today. See you on the next. Cheers mates! ❤️❤️🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸
Hello Martin :) It sure is sad sometimes to think there was a profitable railway destroyed due to political pressure. Which turned out to be a bad idea.
Braw exploration, A and P. Thank you. Re the redundant steps from that signal point: Reminds me, as a 'young' 27-year-old, 1978, working as a Railman based at that time at Linlithgow Station. Walking the line with my paraffin replenishment for the signal lamps on my back, climbing the ladders, filling up the reservoir containers, cleaning the lens' and trimming the wicks. Always safety first. Happy days: Me on my old MZ 250cc motor-bike, parking at the side of the bye-ways, and being part of the P-Way and Nature. All the best. Stay free. Rab 🍻😎 🕊
@@ALWResearchTeam Sans roll-ups of course, A! Thank you once again. All the best to Thomas and you. Never omitting your Darling Lindsey. = Both your 💖. Bye for now, Andy. R 👋
The ladder was quite a find. Surprising it's still there considering it is something that could be re-used elsewhere, and also had some potential scrap value for the dismantlers in the 60's. Down platform is in amazing shape! Liked the video, thanks for sharing it. Cheers!
Just getting settled in before watching, Andy, Paul et al. Liquorice paper roll-up or two, accompanied by a _small_ glass of Shiraz and a modest amount of scrumpy ... Until soon. Rab 👋
Great video, Andy & Paul. Those platforms remind me of the ones you see here from time to time, back when the railways were British owned (and functioned properly). All the best to ya, mates. Cheers.
Hello there, ah that’s interesting and nice to know :) It’s a shame so many were disposed of. Nationalisation of the railways might happen again soon in the UK

Oh wow I can smell the paraffin in my imagination. The black soot and the oily residue all over. Then sparking up a cigarette lol

Hello there. That’s great information. It sure was a nice location to shoot

Hi Rab, that sounds like a lovely cosy night in :-)
It makes you wonder what other gems are hidden in the bushes as we pass by in our daily lives?
It certainly does Anthony.

@@ALWResearchTeam That would equal to a second Beeching Axe, if you ask me.
