Barry Links railway station is a railway station serving the village of Barry, west of Carnoustie, Angus, Scotland. The station is managed by Abellio ScotRail and is on the Edinburgh to Aberdeen Line.
History
The station was opened on 31 July 1851 by Dundee and Arbroath Railway, and was named Barry.[1] The station was renamed to its current name on 1 April 1919.[1]
In the Strategic Rail Authority's 2002/03 financial year, only three fare-paying people (excluding season ticket holders) boarded trains at Barry Links station, and five disembarked, making it the least busy station in the United Kingdom, tied with Gainsborough Central. Since then, there has been a modest increase in passenger numbers: 26 entries/exits in 2004/05 (3rd lowest in the UK), 28 in 2005/06 (3rd lowest) and 44 in 2006/07 (5th lowest). In the 2011/12 statistics, Barry Links had the 7th lowest passenger numbers. The low numbers reflect the fact that the current service (May 2015 timetable) is very sparse - only two trains per day in total stop at the station (one each way, Mondays to Saturdays only), limiting use and growth.[2]
