Old Photographs Railway Station Gretna Green Scotland
Old photograph of the railway station in Gretna Green in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The station was opened by the Glasgow, Dumfries and Carlisle Railway on 23 August 1848 as Gretna. The Glasgow and South Western Railway renamed the station as Gretna Green in April 1852. On 6 December 1965 the station was closed. The Glasgow, Dumfries and Carlisle Railway station was one of three serving Gretna, the others being: Gretna built by the Caledonian Railway in 1847, closing in 1951. Gretna built by Border Union Railway in 1861, closing in 1915. The station re-opened in September 1993 by British Rail with just one platform, on the north side of the line to the west of the previous station, coinciding with the west end of the points marking the end of the single track section from Annan.
