Closure
The line was closed as a through route for passenger traffic on 1 October 1934, quite some years before the Beeching Axe, although the Strathendrick and Aberfoyle Railway remained open for passenger traffic until 1951. The various sections were then progressively closed to passengers and freight:
|
Closed for freight | Drymen to Gartness Junction, and Buchlyvie Junction to Mye Siding |
|
Closed for passengers | Gartness Junction and Buchlyvie Junction |
|

|
Closed for freight | Gartness Junction to Buchlyvie Junction, Jamestown to Drymen, and Port of Monteith to Stirling |
|

|
Closed for freight | Forth and Clyde Junction to Croftengea Siding |
