Carstairs Railway Station
A timetable oddity meant we had half an hour to explore around Carstairs station before getting back on the exact same train service! The strictest Railway Challenge Rules wouldn't approve but for us half an hour is a proper walk - and the oddness trumps the rules :)

Carstairs Village
Carstairs railway station serves the village of Carstairs in South Lanarkshire, Scotland and is a major junction station on the West Coast Main Line (WCML), situated close to the point at which the lines from London Euston and Edinburgh to Glasgow Central merge. Constructed originally by the Caledonian Railway, the station is managed today by ScotRail who also operate most services which serve the station; it is also served by one TransPennine Express service per day between Manchester Airport and Glasgow Central and one Caledonian Sleeper service each way per day between Glasgow Central and London Euston. All other services by TransPennine Express and services operated by Avanti West Coast, CrossCountry and London North Eastern Railway pass the station, but do not stop.
