Crianlarich Upper

A Swindon DMU calls at Crianlarich Upper with a service for Oban. Only the date is known from the photographer's records - 11th August 1965 - but inspection of the 1965 timetable indicates that this would be the summer weekday 9.35 am from Glasgow, which ran from Queen Street and used the West Highland line as far as Crianlarich. This must in retrospect have seemed like a sad premonition of the regrettable closure later in the year of the Callander and Oban route east of Crianlarich. An interesting feature of the service was that it purported to run non-stop between Dumbarton and Crianlarich.
