11th February 2008 to 28th December 2008
<-- Index | Showing 1-72 of 137 pictures | Next -->
In this gallery you will find all of the photographs I had taken in the year 2008 of S.P.T. (Strathclyde Partnership for Transport), First ScotRail and the Transport Scotland 'ScotRail - Scotland's Railway' blue and white Saltire station branding photographs. In time all stations within the ScotRail network (as well as the trains) will be rebranded into the new Saltire branding which is being financed by the Scottish Transport Government Agency, Transport Scotland.

The gallery shows several station on the ScotRail network in the three different types of station branding there were in 2008, some of which have now been rebranded into the Saltire from being formally branded in either the S.P.T. Rail or First ScotRail station branding. The gallery as well as the station photographs show different track structures, station facilities, station views and much more inlcuding atmospheric and 'arty - farty' photographs.

Station Locations That Can Be Found In This Gallery:

Dalmeny, Edinburgh Waverley, Charing Cross, Anderston, Bellshill, Uddingston, Paisley Gilmour Street, Glasgow Central High Level, Glasgow Central Low Level, Scotstounhill, Glasgow Queen Street Low Level, Dalmuir, Dumbarton Central, Stirling, Alloa, Alexandria, Bowling, Dalreoch, Helensburgh Upper, Prestonpans, Airdrie, Rutherglen, Kilpatrick, Anderston, Queens Park, Duke Street, Mount Florida, Charing Cross, Crosshill, Ardrossan Harbour, Glasgow Queen Street High Level and Yoker.

The view shows the new L.E.D. signals that were put up over the festive holiday by Network Rail, work which overran and caused severe chaos to travelling passengers. Many passengers, for the first two weeks in 2008, had to travel by bus to and from Glasgow / Paisley due to Network Rail not fully completing the signalling upgrade between Glasgow Central High Level and Paisley. 09/01/08.
