107429 (51989 presumably leading) and another (with a Met-Camm vehicle on the rear) passes Lochside with the 17:25 Glasgow Central to Stranraer service on Friday 17th June 1983. My visit that day took some planning. Only five northbound and six southbound trains stopped there in each direction, the traffic being heavily biased towards Glasgow commuters. The last of the first four northbound trains departed at 10:21 leaving only one further departure at 13:21. In the southbound direction the first train to call was not until 16:00 in the afternoon. This was followed by three further trains taking us up to 18:25 and two more at 21:00 and 23:00 respectively. Fortunately, there were plenty of non-stop trains whizzing through for me to photograph. On 13th May 1985, Lochside reverted to its original name of Lochwinnoch. Since electrification things have improved dramatically and Lochwinnoch now has a basic half hourly service all day with additional trains during the peak hours.
