GLASGOW'S DISUSED RAILWAYS - High street to Bridgeton Central, driver's cab view return journey 1983

By Douglas Thomson
An ultra-rare silent 8mm movie I shot in 1983 of the entire route, in both directions, of the now-long-dismantled High Street to Bridgeton Central terminus one-mile branch line, which had already closed to passengers in 1979 when a new Bridgeton Station was finished on the re-opened Argyle Line.
This footage was shot from the driver's cab of an original EMU class 303 Blue Train. First up is a few scenes at Hyndland Station, then some cab footage entering Queen Street (low level) Station, before the unedited footage at High Street Station begins to and from Bridgeton Central.
Look out, in both directions, for the even rarer Gallowgate Central Station platforms which had closed way back in 1917 and, on the return journey, twin tunnels of the disused connecting branch that once joined the still-existing "cross-rail" line over the Clyde to connect up the city's south-side rail network.
