17th June 1983
Set: 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.

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. Brian McDevitt.

Set: 107
Sc52021 leads the 16:58 Glasgow Central to Largs & Ardrossan Harbour service through Lochside station on Friday 17th June 1983. The train is composed of two three car sets which will divide at Ardrossan South Beach. The leading set is composed entirely of Derby Class 107 cars and will continue on to Largs. The trailing unit is also composed of Derby Class 107 cars sandwiching a Metropolitan Cammell Class 101 trailer. This unit will terminate at Ardrossan Harbour where it will provide a connection into the Caledonian MacBrayne sailing to Brodick. Brian McDevitt.
