Class 107 DMU at Glasgow Central

Unknown date

Set number: 107426

Class 107 DMU set 107 426 (SC51986 leading) arrives into Glasgow Central, date unknown. Paul Redmond.

Class 107 DMU at Lochside

17th June 1983

Set number: 107426

Class 107 set 107 426 (presumably 51986 leading) passes Lochside with the 17:20 Glasgow Central to Largs service on Friday 17th June 1983. Lochwinnoch is a small Renfrewshire village to the north west of the Barr Loch and Castle Semple Lochs. It’s first station opened on the main Glasgow to Ayr line, on the east side of these lochs, in 1840, approximately one mile south east of the village. In 1905 a new Lochwinnoch station opened within the village itself on the parallel Dalry and North Johnstone line, more commonly known as the Lochwinnoch Loop. Consequently this, the original Lochwinnoch station, was renamed Lochside from the same date. Inevitably traffic fell into decline at Lochside and the station eventually closed in 1955. However, Beeching had other ideas and the Lochwinnoch Loop was scheduled for closure. Lochwinnoch station closed in 1966 but incredibly Lochside station was reopened on the same date in an attempt to compensate for the closure of the loop line. Brian McDevitt.
