I went to Bishopbriggs

On 07/07/2016 I went to Bishopbriggs. The Glasgow Queen Street tunnel Has been closed since 20/03/2016 and is opening with new track on 07/08/2016. Trains usually don't pass any stations between Glasgow Queen Street and Bishopbriggs. But now they go Glasgow Queen Street Low Level->CharingCross->Partick->Hyndland->Anniesland->Kelvindale->Maryhill->Summerston->Gilscohill
->Possilpark & Parkhouse->Ashfield->Bishopbriggs. Return Bishopbriggs->Springburn (stops there)->Barnhill->Alexandra Parade->Duke Street->Bellgrove->High Street->Glasgow Queen Street Low Level. The Springburn->Bellgrove section would, if they hadn't electrified Cumbernauld D.R.S to Springburn part, have been the whole North Clyde Line done for me. But Because they Extended it to Cumbernauld D.R.S. I haven't completed the north Clyde Line yet.

I'm going to Glasgow!

From Thursday 30/06/2016 at 2pm until Saturday 02/07/2016 at midday we are going to Glasgow Charing Cross  Premier Inn so we can bathe, get earlier trains to Glasgow Queen Street (due to engineering works until 08/08/2016 it is  just platforms 8 and 9). On 26/05/2016 we did a race from GLasgow Central to NewToN to GLasgow Central for my birthday but the opposing team won.

1915 Gretna Green rail crash

In 1915, 5 Trains (04:50 Goods ex-Carlisle, 06:17 Local ex-Carlisle, 05:50 Express ex-Carlisle, Empty coal wagons special, and Troop special) were all were involved in a crash at Quintinshill.
This crash was due to 2 signalmen breaking Rule 55.  The 06:17 ex-Carlisle crashed into the Troop Special, which was carrying all the Royal Scots which only a seventh survived, and the 05:50 ex-Carlisle crashed into the remains of the Troop special.  The 04:50 ex-Carlisle parked in the Up Loop and the Empty coal wagons special parked in the Down loop, causing the 06:17 ex-Carlisle on the Down Line to reverse onto the up line.

The accident occurred at 06:50 GMT.  226 people died, and 246 got injured.

#StormGertrude

In the UK, there was a big storm called Storm Gertrude (Storm Henry either morphed into Gertrude or switched places with Gertrude), which hit Scotland so fast, like 70/80-90 mph winds.

Sorry I had no pics, but my dad had to catch the 1/A/E to Dumbarton, then catch a taxi from Dumbarton to Helensburgh.

Lock your homes secure cause Storm Henry is here now.

Byebye!
