Talk:Dolphinton branch

Closure of Caledonian Railway branch
The article gives two different dates for passenger closure, (Saturday) 2 and (Monday) 4 June 1945. M.E.Quick in Reference 12 explains that the Monday is the conventional closure date, i.e., the first day on which trains would have run had the line not been closed, and suggests that the Saturday was probably the day trains last ran, there being no Sunday service. However, as some railway time tables, e.g., Bradshaw's, were produced on a calendar monthly basis, the formal closure date could have been effective from the 1st day of the month, a Sunday.
