That’s not an ScR Tokenless instrument, it’s a normal Absolute Block instrument for the double track section to/from Barrhead.

In any event Cathcart has never controlled the Barrhead line. Around the time Cathcart was commissioned the junction to the Barrhead line was controlled by Muirhouse Junction and then Glasgow Central. If you mean the Neilston (old Giffen) line the fringe to Muirend was TCB from the initial commissioning of Cathcart.

As I sit on my Cathay Pacific plane at MAN airport, I thought I'd drop a few parting comments. Thanks to all for your friendship and hospitality at the meet. It was well worth the trip. Special mention to John MELD, Alan GilChrist Almighty ( :-P ), Karl and James Nelhams for additional time spent entertaining me and for all the work put into setting the meet up by Alan, Karl and John G. That said, I still blame Nelhams for putting my nametag in the holder upside down!!! :-D Lastly, thanks to John G for the special mention in the wiki. Thank you sir. Until next time! Cheerio all!

Peter Bennet in post 112051 said:The key - yes we were now locked inside the boundary fence in the trackbed of the former loop with some 100 or so yards to walk to the box, up the tower and meet the signaller. When it was time to leave the signaller was on his own so could not take us back to the gate. He gave us the key and advised us when to move so we were not observed by any train drivers passing. We had to leave the key under a stone by the gate.And you want me to write a book? :-) Log in to reply The following user said thank you: postal |
