Greenock and Ayrshire Railway, Kilmacolm

Approaching the site of Kilmacolm Station through a cutting. The railway to Greenock was closed in 1966, but a service to Glasgow via Paisley Canal continued from Kilmacolm until 1983 when it fell to what appeared at the time to be another round of savage railway closures. There is pressure for reopening, at least from Bridge of Weir. Now the trackbed is a cycle path.
