Lockerbie and Carstairs
Did you know the 50 mile section of the line between Lockerbie and Carstairs is the longest stretch of railway in the UK without an intermediate station.

Thanks for that Alan, I go to Lockerbie regularly to fish the river Annan at the village of Greenhill one of the Royal four towns. Thanks again Alan we learn something new every day.

The Carstairs-Lockerbie section has to be one of the most interesting mainline routes in the UK especially with the gradients, including Beattock Summit and the many curves as well as the lineside scenery. I just wish I'd been old enough to see and hear the class 50s at Beattock summit in the early 1970s before electrification.
