Where was PhilW - 17/09/25
Posted by PhilWakely at 18:40, 17th September 2025
 
Way back in the Summer of 2018, I purchased an 8 in 15 Freedom of Scotland rover and managed to travel over most of the rural (and not so rural) lines. I am currently north of the border again, attempting to travel over the rest (bar some of the Glasgow suburban lines)

Whilst enjoying the wonders of Wifi for the moment, I thought I'd post this now. I may not be so lucky over the next few days!

So, where was I today (17/09/25)?

Oh, by the way JayMac is barred from this as he and I have been messaging each other during the day!

I recognize where you were - but I wondered whether Finn is still allowed to reply first?

CfN.

Go ahead!  Finn is still recovering from being pampered at the cricket today

Due to its very distinctive architecture, it's got to be Wemyss Bay railway station.

The terminus of the Inverclyde Line, with a connection to the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry terminal.

(CalMac being one of my pet topics. )  CfN.

Sorry Chris, you - along with JayMac earlier today - are actually incorrect! I'll be there later this week

Blimey! 

I should have let Finn answer, after all.

If it helps, CalMac do operate from here - or so the CIS on the platform says!

I do know where it is, and PhilW has said I can answer, but I'll let others have a chance.
