Old Photographs Railway Station Arbroath Scotland

Old photograph of the railway station in Arbroath, Scotland. There have been three stations called Arbroath, two of which closed in 1848. One, Arbroath Catherine Street, served the Arbroath and Forfar Railway; the other, Arbroath Lady Loan or Arbroath West, was on the Dundee and Arbroath Railway. The current station was originally opened by the Dundee and Arbroath Railway on 1 February 1848 as a link station to connect the Arbroath and Forfar Railway with the Dundee and Arbroath Railway. On 1 October 1880 the North British, Arbroath and Montrose Railway opened north towards Montrose. These days there are generally two or three trains per hour between westbound to Dundee and eastbound to Aberdeen, with hourly services onwards from Dundee towards Edinburgh and Glasgow Queen Street. Some East Coast Main Line services to London Kings Cross and CrossCountry routes towards England also stop at Arbroath. Jointly run by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and the London and North Eastern Railway after the Grouping of 1923, the station then passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.
