tamthebam Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 The last train through Forfar was actually in June 1982 which seems to have been a special run by an enthusiasts group- it left from Perth and went back to Perth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we arrived she trundled off to visit her sister; we told her what time we would be leaving to come home and sure enough she was waiting by the bus at full time! Everybody was on their best behaviour on the bus that day... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old Forfar Station was just by the ground hence the name but it closed as part of the Beeching cuts in the 60s, pretty much every remnant of it is gone too, I think the old railway bridge you'd walk under to get to Station Park came down around the start of this century. No longer living in Forfar the lack of a station makes it a bit of a pain to get to if you don't want to drive When I first went in 83 the station buildings were still there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
