Collected date	13/09/14

Our tickets allowed us as far as Lockerbie in Scotland, so we had to have at least a short scoot over the border, to Gretna Green.

Sadly the station isn't quite as romantic as the associations. Sure, there's the old station building just a short way east of the current station:

But the station itself is a modern contraption with mad zigzag ramps leading up to the footbridge:
