Talk:Dundee railway station

Misleading statement

Untitled

Dundee was the starting station of the longest direct rail journey in Britain - the 06.43 Virgin Cross Country service to Penzance, which took just over 12 hours to complete. The station was the terminus of the reverse of this journey, the 08:30 Arriva CrossCountry service from Penzance which arrived at Dundee at 20:25. As of December 14 2008, the longest through journey is now the 0820 from Aberdeen to Penzance, arriving into Penzance at 2150, a staggering 13.5 hours long.

Dundee was only the starting point of this 'longest direct rail journey' for a short period of time. Following WW1 there was the first Aberdeen to Penzance service and in the 1980s there was an Elgin to Penzance service. http://www.virgintrainsmediaroom.com/index.cfm?articleid=403 Ballymoss9018 (talk) 09:21, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Dundee station

It is not the only National Rail station below sea level. Examples are in Merseyside such as Liverpool St James Stree, Birkenhead Hamilton Square and maybe Glasgow Central Low Level —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.151.171.58 (talk) 14:02, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Dundee East

I do not think that Dundee East railway station should redirect here. The historic Dundee East station had no real connection with the current Dundee station (which was Dundee Taybridge). The other defunct major station in the city,Dundee West railway station, now has its own article. Equally, two of Dundee East's predecessors as the terminus of the Dundee and Arbroath Railway, Roodyards railway station and Craigie railway station) now have articles and given Dundee East had a much longer career than they did, is covered in several published books about Dundee and about Scottish Railways, I think it might also be justified in having its own article.

I agree that a separate article on Dundee East station should be written Steamybrian2 (talk) 14:36, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
