Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox station Dunkeld & Birnam railway station serves the town of Dunkeld and village of Birnam in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It is located on the Highland Main Line, Шаблон:Convert north of Шаблон:Stnlnk and is the first stop on the line north of there, before Pitlochry.[1] Most services are operated by ScotRail, who also manage the station. LNER and Caledonian Sleeper also call some services here.
History
The station opened on 7 April 1856, as the terminus of the Perth and Dunkeld Railway from Stanley Junction (on the Scottish Midland Junction Railway).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Seven years later, it became a through station when the Inverness and Perth Junction Railway opened its line to Inverness via Шаблон:Rws and Шаблон:Rws (the I&PJR had taken over the Perth & Dunkeld company that year - prior to this, the SMJR had worked the line).Шаблон:Sfn
From 1863 to 1896 the station master was John Kinnaird.[2]
The station was host to a LMS caravan in 1935 and 1936 followed by two caravans from 1937 to 1939.Шаблон:Sfn
The station was the last in Scotland to be lit by gas lights, these not being replaced by electric versions until the early 1980s.Шаблон:Citation needed Although the trackbed has been raised following reballasting over the years, the platforms have not had similar treatment and are all considerably sub-standard in height. A couple of 'boxes' have been placed on both platforms to assist passengers to climb into the trains but, because the station is unstaffed, no assistance is available to move these aids into an appropriate position whenever a train arrives.
Facilities
The station has a small car park (and some bike racks), which gives step-free access to platform 1, which has a bench and a waiting shelter. There is no step-free access (access is via a footbridge) - nor any facilities - on platform 2.[3] As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.
Platform layout
The station has a passing loop Шаблон:Convert long, flanked by two platforms. Platform 1 on the southbound line can accommodate trains having twelve coaches, but platform 2 on the northbound line can only hold ten.Шаблон:Sfn When no crossing is to be made, northbound trains are usually routed through platform 1 which is signalled for bi-directional running.[4]
