ABANDONED & DISUSED RAILWAYS: High St - Bridgeton Central
Posted: Sun Jun 28, 2009 1:54 pm
Hi all. I walked the High Street - Bridgeton Central branch line yesterday which was a branch line that ran from the west to the east of Glasgow to Bridgeton Central which was a big terminus station before closing in 1979 to passengers and to all traffic and use in 1987. The branch line consists of many tunnels and cuttings. The route was up until recently a waste tip for the locals and the tunnels were filled in with rubbish and rat infested. Luckily during my walk no rats were to be seen or heard but I saw 1 fox but that was before I was in the route premises so from start to finish I was myself and it was thoroughly enjoyable. The route is in very good condition with thanks to Glasgow City Council clearing up the waste tip the locals had turned the toute into. More information about the old branch railway line can be found in the commentary box link below as well as all of the 53 photographs. I have posted 30 photographs from the gallery below also.
