[edit] Castle Semple railway station
Is there anywhere apart from RAILSCOT that even acknowledges this station's existence (or rather, it's planned existence)? Dreamer84 20:20, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

- On the back back out of Kilbarchan along the general route of the railway, you reach a T-junction - left to Howwood and right in a north westery direction. As you cross over the railway line on the Kilbarchan side of the bridge there is the widening of the track and mound were a station may have been planned - very similar to Lyoncross railway station on the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway. It is quite a few years since I last eye-balled it, so I have no idea how overgrown it now is. If I get the chance I will have a look at the weekend - if a photo is possible I will post it. It is however not adjacent to Castle Semple Loch -- Stewart 22:40, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Think I've found what you're talking about on Virtual Earth, I can see the widening of the track, and it's close enough to the castle that being called 'Castle Semple railway station' wouldn't be a complete impossibility. There must be a book or something that mentions it, though the "Ayrshire & Renfrewshire's Lost Railways" book makes no mention of it on the page about the Kilbarchan loop. A photo would be nice if possible, will need something to put on the page! - Dreamer84 23:09, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
