A landslide closed the Glasgow to Gourock & Wemyss Bay railway line here in January 2011. The A8 passes close on the left and is partially closed and controlled by lights while the landslide is made good. The repairs will take several months to complete as the working hours are restricted to three hours each night due to train movements and the need to switch off the overhead power lines.
