Aberdeen to Dundee

Aberdeen to Dundee ✅ Rudy has visited all thirteen of the stations we count on the Aberdeen to Dundee route.

Aberdeen ✓
Station 60 21st March 2020

Rudy managed to grab a few photos at Aberdeen waiting for his last train trip before the UK covid-19 lockdown restrictions. It's a station he knows well from previous visits but today he was a little unsure of how quiet it was - usually 8000 passengers a day travel here.

Pre-Lockdown Aberdeen

March 2020 was when the UK was preparing for covid restrictions that would ban unnecessary travel. Rudy was visiting Aberdeen when the plans were finalised so he took the chance for some sunshine selfies in Old Aberdeen at the university library a

Portlethen ✓
Station 20 15th December 2018

It was a chilly afternoon when we first visited Portlethen but that didn't worry us because Rudy was going to run around to keep warm before our train back home. We missed that train and had to resort to jumpers & blankets at the station waiting for the next one!

Arbroath ✓
Station 74 15th July 2021

Trains at Arbroath go right past the town's seaside resort beach so it wasn't difficult planning our visit here!

Break of Journey (Carnoustie)
Rudy on our walk at Carnoustie.

Travelling from Glasgow to Aberdeen by train only takes two & a half or three hours. It also goes past the Angus coastal beaches where stopping off for an hour to eat a picnic dinner by the sea is an option. Bonus rock-pooling time at Carnoustie f

Golf Street ✓
Station 32 22nd June 2019

My favourite wee awkward station. If we'd missed our train here it would've been a two day wait until the next one.

Barry Links and Golf Street 22nd June 2019

Barry Links to Golf Street
Rudy on our walk between Barry Links and Golf Street.

As their names suggest, both Barry Links and Golf Street are near the links golf course at Carnoustie. The course provides a public walking route between itself and the railway line. It's a nice place for a stroll but we walked a little faster than

Barry Links ✓
Station 31 22nd June 2019

Our second awkward station of the day and a surprisingly long platform for a little served station.

Monifieth ✓
Station 183 26th June 2023

The least awkward station on a day of visiting awkward stations. Monifieth station is very close to the beach so we keep coming back here!

Break of Journey (Monifieth)

A last minute decision to break our journey from Glasgow to Aberdeen led to a fantastically fun fifteen minutes running around Monifieth Beach.

Balmossie ✓
Station 30 22nd June 2019

This was a favourite station. Near the beach and a nice peaceful platform. Peaceful until a train zips past at speed - only four a day stop here!

Balmossie to Monifieth

A "repositioning" walk. After catching both the morning trains from Golf Street we had to walk back to our holiday caravan park. A hot summer morning meant taking a rest to snooze in the long grass by the sea was definitely called for.

Broughty Ferry ✓
Station 184 26th June 2023

A Monday afternoon visit to Broughty Ferry station in Dundee, Eastern Scotland. We caught the 14:30 train to Monifieth after our walk - and after taking our station selfie of course!
