| Dundee railway station is probably the most inaccessible station on the British network and its entrance is on a virtual island surrounded by the Discovery Centre (left) and Tayside House and the approaches to the Tay Road Bridge (right) which, incidently, is now (April 2007) toll free.

| The 1251 has just arrived from Aberdeen for Glasgow. The unit is a Class 170 Turbostar which will soon be replenished in yet another colour scheme to ensure that "customers" notice the change of the ScotRail franchise. PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow | |
