Slarti Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 I'd always read that it never got connected at the Arkleston junction. Correct.Apparently the other end of the loop was connected at St James, though.http://railway.paisleyhistory.uk/ Was this line known as the Dummy Railway?Aye.

Albanian Buddy Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Just a shame no one had the bright idea to build a railway spur to the airport. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran from there to Ferguslie station with sidings to Pressed Steel/Rootes. From Ferguslie to Stanely then Glenburn. You can still see the platforms and footbridge of the station from Glenburn Rd.

I enjoyed that right up to the point the esteemed provost popped up, I happen to know that she is only about 5 years younger than me and to state that she never heard the chimes as an adult is just bollocks, she just never listened.

faraway saint Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 (edited) Oh, a real memory jerker as my mother used to take me here when I was very young. In these days we used to actually buy stiff at the cinema, unlike these days when it costs an arm and a leg for a bag of Pick N Mix. High Street The Kiosk within the Foyer of the old Picture House on the High Street c.1960's. Most folks who remember the old Cinema will also remember the long walk down the corridor too, but one photo of the place which is proving very illusive is of the Fountain within, Edited February 17 by faraway saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be a similar photo but there was a suggestion that this perhaps was taken after a match at Love St which might explain the groups of men walking together.
