(1) For a period these two return shuttle trains were also incorrectly uploaded on this Website as having run on 6th May 1982. Passenger services from Stanley to Forfar ceased w/e 4th September 1967. The line had already been lifted beyond Forfar to Kinnaber Jn (that stretch closed in 1967) and Broughty Ferry (closed 1958). Trains A & B ran in the morning, C & D in the afternoon.
