Barry Links railway station is a railway station serving the village of Barry, west of Carnoustie, Angus, Scotland. The station is managed by First ScotRail and is on the Edinburgh to Aberdeen Line.
[edit] History
The station was opened on 31 July 1851 by Dundee and Arbroath Railway, and was named Barry.[1] The station was renamed to its current name on 1 April 1919.[1]
[edit] Current operations
In the Strategic Rail Authority's 2002/3 financial year, only three fare-paying people (excluding season ticket holders) boarded trains at Barry Links station, and five disembarked, making it the least busy station in the United Kingdom, tied with Gainsborough Central.[2] In the 2004/05 financial year, the station's exits increased to 26, a 225% increase, raising its position to the third least used station in the United Kingdom.[2]
