Friends of Blair Atholl station

We are a group of residents and visitors who'd like to bring this beautiful Grade B listed station built in 1869 back into community use - lots of potential.

WHERE IN SCOTLAND?

Where is this?

This is a detail from an image that appears somewhere on Undiscovered Scotland. Please reply with your answers. We'll award kudos to the first correct response before posting the next in the series tomorrow.

Yes, you're right, so passengers got their money back - great for them, not so good for the train company...

[Ishaq Ali @IshaqAli156]

@FoBAstation @CalSleeper I think this one ended up being two hours late.. if your friend went into Euston

@RailwayHeritage Is it the shoogly bridge that used to be beyond Blair Atholl on the way to Bruar?

[Friends of Blair Atholl station @FoBAstation]

Seeing my friend off on the @CalSleeper #blairathollstation. Aren't trains magical?

What a treat to visit the last day of the #RAIL200 exhibition at #WaverleyStation - wonderful to see what @RailwayHeritage has been able to support across the UK including @hmlcrp and of course not to forget @FoBAstation

@RailwayHeritage It's beautiful 😍

[RailwayHeritageTrust @RailwayHeritage]

We are so pleased to see this restoration nearing completion. What a transformation - I can’t wait to visit. Congratulations to all involved in the restoration.

@RailwayHeritage @NetworkRailSCOT @LNER @Taliesin2000 Look forward to seeing this next week!

[Friends of Blair Atholl station @FoBAstation]

Yes, less than a year old, but on the sunny platform. Let's hope that our painting lasts a bit longer @ScotRail

[Sally Spaven @SallySpaven1]

@FoBAstation @ScotRail That paint didn't last long? Is it only 1 year old?

[Friends of Blair Atholl station @FoBAstation]

A very sad wee train ready for repainting @ScotRail

[Friends of Blair Atholl station @FoBAstation]

I was one of 21 people who boarded at our station today - this is what we like to see! The blue sky is wonderful as well!

We will always be grateful for the support of @HeritageFundSCO and all those good folk who play the lottery each week in getting us on this journey ... a way to go yet, but we are very hopeful for the future of our station and the people of Blair Atholl☺️

We're in awe of what @FoBAstation are achieving for their station and community.

And very proud that thanks to National Lottery players the Heritage Fund was able to support Friends of Blair Atholl Station to reach this point.
