Timetable showing passenger trains on the Dundee & Newtyle line in 1862 |
Passenger trains operated on the Dundee & Newtyle from its earliest years. This timetable is dated February 1862. All trains were operated according to 'parliamentary' regulations introduced in 1844. The timetable indicates a service of three trains in the Dundee - Newtyle direction and four Newtyle - Dundee services, with a fifth on Fridays. Some trains are mixed trains, for both goods and passengers. Connections onwards from Newtyle to Coupar Angus, Blairgowrie, Alyth, Glamis, Kirriemuir and Forfar are shown; also a service of short workings between Dundee and Lochee. By this date both the Law and Balbeuchly inclines were closed but trains would have required to use the stationary engine-worked incline between Hatton and Newtyle.
