Class 107 DMU at Houston and Crosslee

January 1981

Derby Heavyweight Set 140 pulls away from a rural Houston and Crosslee station on a Kilmacolm working from Glasgow Central. The nearby town of Linwood, developed as post war overspill for Glasgow and Paisley along with the Rootes Car Factory, was poorly situated despite its proximity. The passengers here seem to be heading for nearby Brookfield to the south, accessed by a parallel footpath (to the left of the photograph) and footbridge well beyond the station. The villages of Houston and Crosslee were somewhat remote from the station and were over a mile away to the north. Note the 'running in board' rusting away on the left and the line of cast iron lamp posts - probably gas lights in a previous age! January 1981. alicia hartman.
