Bizarre entry in the Scottish Region Section GC Working Timetable for 1983-84.
This scan is from the May 1983 to May 1984 Working Timetable Section GC covering the northern reaches of the Scottish Region. Being the right hand page of an A4 book unfortunately I haven't been able to incorporate the station names list as the image would then be too small to view and read but the table in question is the Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh, Wick and Thurso (down trains).
Up until the mid 1980's for many years the last train of the day from Inverness to the Kyle of Lochalsh on Saturdays was booked to stop at numerous crossing to set down the wives of railway employees who had been shopping in Inverness. During the 1970's these were listed as Imber Houses, Balnacra Crossing Gatehouse, Craig Houses and Luib Houses. By 1983-84 the list of non station stopping points was reduced to just one at Balnacra Crossing between Achnashellach and Strathcarron. The corresponding outbound service was usually the second train of the day mid morning from Kyle to Inverness.
