This fascinating display will cover all aspects of the branch line from Westerton to Milngavie via Bearsden and Hillfoot from its opening in 1863 right down to the present time.

Although the district was lightly populated in the 1860s, high class residential travel was developing in similar places elsewhere, and was expected to be a positive factor for the Milngavie line.
