A prominent Broughty Ferry restaurant site with unrivalled transport connections is still awaiting a tenant more than two years after being put on the 
market. The proposed eaterie was created at Broughty Ferry railway station as part of a £650,000 redevelopment of the site. With trains stopping outside, a car park next door and a major bus route alongside, access for customers is not a problem. But no restaurateur has so far stepped forward with a serious interest in the property. In 2012 rumours were rife in Broughty Ferry that Pizza Express would perhaps be the most appropriate tenants, but that story proved to be half-baked.

Broughty Ferry signalbox viewed from the southbound platform in 1989 when the box still had another six years of operational life left. The lattice post to the right once carried a lower quadrant signal which was converted to upper quadrant and then relocated below, presumably for a clearer view. At the time of the photograph it was possible to cross between platforms by subway, bridge and level crossing. See news item.
