Contents 1 Picture of Drybridge station

Regarding comments about the line being singled prior to electrification, this isn't quite true. I lived in Irvine since the mid 70's and frequently went to Ayr, crossing the line. It has been singled for a number of years prior to the electrification of the Ayrshire coast line in the early to mid 80's, however, pictures of the K&T railway showing Drybridge station in the late 60's show the line still being doubled.

[edit] Picture of Drybridge station

I've reverted the article removing the picture as it seems a little pointless and random, especially since there is already a clearer picture of the station just one click away on the Drybridge station page. Any opinions anyone? I think any images that would go on the main railway article should be maps, old timetables, etc, while pictures of stations should go on the relevant station article. - Dreamer84 00:04, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

It's a pity we can't get hold of a picture like that in the Stenlake 'Lost railways' book as that was a rather nice picture from the days of when the station was operational. Douglasnicol 16:34, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
