Old Travel Blog Photograph Steam Locomotive Railway Station Stirling Scotland
Old travel Blog photograph of a steam locomotive in the railway station in Stirling, Scotland. Stirling was first connected to the Scottish Central Railway in 1848. Lines were subsequently opened by the Stirling and Dunfermline Railway in 1853, and by the Forth and Clyde Junction Railway to Balloch Central three years later. Through services to/from the Callander and Oban Railway also served the station from 1870. The current station buildings were opened in 1916 following a major rebuild by the Caledonian Railway. Trains operate north to Dunblane, three trains per hour, to Perth, Dundee and Aberdeen hourly, Inverness, four trains per day, south west to Glasgow Queen Street, three trains per hour, and east to Edinburgh Waverley, half hourly. The service to Alloa and Dunfermine was withdrawn in October 1968, but the reopening of the Stirling-Alloa-Kincardine rail link partially restored that service with an hourly service from Glasgow to Alloa as an extension of the Croy Line services.
