Inverkip railway station is a railway station serving the village of Inverkip, Inverclyde, Scotland. The station is managed by First ScotRail and is on the Inverclyde Line, 28¾ miles (46 km) west of Glasgow Central.
The embankment is all that remains of the former Down platform. All of the station buildings have now been removed and replaced with a bus shelter. The flats in the background (known as The Kyles) are built in what was the station goods yard.
Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
