Someone else who appears to have had a heavy Saturday night! Early Sunday morning scene on the westbound platform at Port Glasgow, as a precariously perched young lady nods off awaiting the first Stage west out of Dodge - in this case the 07.52 Sunday service to Gourock.

Whinhill station, looking west towards Drumfrocher and Branchton. This station is typical of the stations that have either been newly opened or re-opened by SPTA and its successor, the SPT.

Wemyss Bay Junction is one of those junctions named after the place they're the junction for, rather than where they are situated; Wemyss Bay station is 10 miles away from the evocatively named junction which is in a workaday location between Port Glasgow and Bogston or Whinhill stations.  On 1 September 334 029 comes off the branch heading for Glasgow Central.
