107444 with snow on the roof at Kilmacolm in January 1983 - I have the feeling that this was taken in the early afternoon of the last day of services. Andrew McConnell.

The end of the line - in more ways than one! Derby 107 triple sits at Kilmacolm in low winter sun, waiting to return to Glasgow Central during the last week. The GSWR line to Greenock Princes Pier was cut back to Kilmacolm in stages thence singled in 1973 from Cart Junction. The railway makes a sorry sight and a far cry from ‘boat trains’ passing through for Princes Pier. However, apart from the curtailed evening services, the latter-day hourly DMU commuter service to Glasgow was probably as good as it got. Tuesday 04 January 1983. alicia hartman.

With less than a week to go before closure, Class 107 triple awaits turnaround at Kilmacolm and the next rain shower! Three car sets were the generally the norm on off peak services but six car sets were used in the peaks or, indeed, the last ever arrival and departure. Tuesday 04 January 1983. alicia hartman.

A Class 107 set at Elderslie with the 12:07 Glasgow - Kilmacolm service on January 7, 1983. The DMBS at the far end is marked 107 440, presumably 52001. The DMS closest has had part of the set number obscured, suggesting a recent change. Hamish Stevenson.

Last Days. Westbound DMU rolls into Crookston station on a Glasgow Central - Kilmacolm working. After closure, the footbridge was supposedly dismantled and re-erected at Auchinleck for the station re-opening in May 1984. Maybe not so unlucky for OB 13 after all! The station building was vandalised post closure but was eventually restored as a private dwelling. The former westbound platform at Crookston re-opened in 1990 as part of a truncated service to Paisley Canal. The line was effectively a single track from Dumbreck. However, a passing loop was added at Crookston on the Glasgow side of the Crookston Road over bridge in the background. The line was eventually electrified in 2012. Probably Friday 07 January 1983. alicia hartman.

The view is from Sandholes Road over bridge with the city bound DMU heading past Brookfield en route to Houston and Crosslee station. The station is in the distance, beyond the footbridge and the tree line. Probably Friday 07 January 1983. alicia hartman.

Last Day No.8. Looking west as mixed 107 435 climbs from Cart Junction towards Elderslie No.2 on the 11:01 Kilmacolm - Glasgow Central working. The Derby (with MC DMS to rear) is on the 'Down Branch' line and the 'Up Branch' line via the fly-under from Elderslie No. 2 is on the left. Saturday 08 January 1983. alicia hartman.

On the last day of Kilmacolm services - 8 January 1983 - hybrid DMU set 107435 (presumably with 51996 closest) is seen at Houston with a mid-morning service. This line, the last closure in Scotland which would never happen today, fell because of squabbling between District Council, Regional Authority and PTE funding. Alistair Ness.

Last Day No.1. The 08:50 Kilmacolm - Glasgow service (ex. 08:07 from Glasgow via Gilmour Street) crosses the Black Cart Water on the approach to Cart Junction. This is probably 107 435 (with 101 DMS to rear) which was diagrammed on the branch that day. The trackbed and bridge in the foreground is the GSWR route from Cart Junction to Brownhill Junction via Kilbarchan. The Kilmacolm bridge was dismantled and the line breeched by the A737 Johnstone Bypass further north. Most of both routes to the west are now part of the Sustrans National Cycle Route network. Saturday 08 January 1983. alicia hartman.

Last Day No.15. Derby 107 435 returns from Kilmacolm on the 13:01 working to Glasgow Central. It is crossing the Locher Water on the Lochermill Viaduct and heading towards Houston and Crosslee station. Cars on the A761 are visible above the DMU by the fenceline and Ranfurly, on the outskirts of Bridge of Weir, on the hillside beyond. Not sure what the driver has rolled up in the cab - a last day souvenir poster perhaps! Saturday 08 January 1983. alicia hartman.
