Old Photograph Railway Station Balmossie Scotland

Old photograph of the railway station at Balmossie which serves the suburb of Balmossie West of Monifieth, by Dundee, Scotland. The station was originally opened on 18 June 1962 as Balmossie Halt by British Rail Scottish Region and renamed as Balmossie on 16 May 1983. British Rail operated local passenger services between Dundee and Arbroath until May 1990. Since these were discontinued, most of the intermediate stations have had only a very sparse service, provided so as to avoid the difficulty of formal closure procedures. Abellio ScotRail provides Balmossie with only one train a day in each direction, Mondays to Saturdays. The northbound evening departure runs through from Glasgow Queen Street, but neither it nor the morning southbound train are conveniently timed for passengers wishing to commute to Dundee. Consequently, patronage of the station is currently low.
