After a fire, this site at Milton was cleared. The remains of the tram shed in August 2006 is uncertain. - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow
Anti-errosion measures at Balmossie as the bank continues to subside. The old Monifieth and Dundee tram shed dominates both photographs. - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow
Confusingly called First ScotRail to reflect First Group's ownership of the franchise (it's actually the third version of ScotRail) - passengers, now called "customers", are invited to take the train to work. No mention here that there is only 1 train a day in each direction from Balmossie Halt! Meanwhile on the other side of the line a First ScotRail express from Aberdeen rushes over the Dichty and through the not unsurprisingly deserted Balmossie platforms. - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow
The last - and only - down train of the day makes its token 1902 stop at Balmossie on Wednesday 2 August 2006. "No one left, and no one came . . . " - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow
The same train - a Class 170 number 170457 departs - empty - for Carnoustie where it terminates. There seems to be a lack of logic in not running this train through to Arbroath where passengers (if there were any) from intermediate stations could transfer to an express for Aberdeen instead of having to catch a bus to Arbroath. The train is stabled overnight at Carnoustie under the watchful eye of the signalman in the still manned signal box. It then forms the 0645 departure from Carnoustie making the only up stop of the day at Balmossie. - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow
Like the train, this bench was also devoid of "customers".
The combined rail and footbridge at Balmossie is covered in graffiti and vandals have long since removed whatever sign was supported by the two uprights - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow
