I think to get the full flavour of the subterannean stations like Dalmarnock you'd have to go back to the days of steam with its sulphuric clouds, swirling fog and the scream of whistles as the city express thunders through on it's one way journey to Hell.

One thing that always struck me about Dalmarnock is that the rails are on raised chairs (unusually for the paved concrete track hereabouts), presumably because the diabolical moistures that are the norm here would interfere with the track circuits and eat through a slab of 113a in a matter of weeks.

Well, been a while since I've seen it like such, but if it rains fairly heavily for a long period, it becomes a canal!

V..v..v... visit Dalmarnock Station? Them's rash sentiments young master. Many have thought to look into the very jaws of darkness, but of those that ever returned their hair had gone white and they were reduced to mere, broken husks (apart from Al Jolson I suppose). Please reconsider while there still be time. Or at least make sure your blunderbuss is well packed with silver coins.

That old railway bridge is a real forest.

Hmmmm? I see what you mean. Gruesome indeed.

Good grief, Ken!! Is that REALLY Dalmarnock station? I've only ever seen it from the train - I always imagined up above as being surrounded by dark dismal tenements.Why would anybody get on or off there?

[scottland]

Does anyone know if life can survive those conditions.

Maybe if you live in one of the caravan sites, or work in the industrial estaes nearby. or perhaps even live in Dalmarnock. Theres one close within spitting distance from the station entrance and the whole residential part of Dalmarnock about 3 - 5 minutes away accross Dalmarnock Rd and up Springfield road.

Dunno, has anyone ever met the station staff there?

When im on a late shift and im on a stopping service, i always expect Ripley and the Mother Alien to board the train...its a must for any budding amateur horror movie maker.

BTW enjoy it whilst we can its being rebuilt for 2014.

PPS come on the station wander and well stop off there for tea and biccies (see whats happening thread)

Hope I didn"t come across the wrong way. It's just that I don't know that area and any time I've passed through on the train the station seems deserted, so when I saw Ken's link it looked deserted up above too ( apart from the industrial units, that is).
