I know there are remnants of railway lines between Neilston and Uplawmoor (near Shilford for example) but is the line you are referring to one that extended beyond the current station and went behind Brig o'Lea and onwards towards Uplawmoor?
It was originally used to bring coal from the Ayrshire coast to Lanarkshire, but was also used for leisure purposes. originally called Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway .

The trains still go beyond the station to turn around for the journey back to Glasgow, but I don't remember them going as far as Brig O'Lea. Not saying that is wrong just that I don't remember it.
Neilston line used to go all the way to the Ayrshire coast until the cuts in the 60s.

Arthurlie v S.B.A. . A very difficult game against a team who have showed they can match the best in our league on their day. Even this early in the season we need to take something from this game as we don't want to fall too far behind the front runners. I'm not sure if Roulston is banned but if he is we will miss his energy in midfield. Shotts have always been a team who are prepared to battle so we must match that if we are to take the points. Get the ball on the deck and forget the stupid launching of the ball to strikers who aren't blessed with great height.
According to SJFA site he has still two match suspensions.

Even better is when you look at the survey results to see both of their clubs - Arthurlie and Kilbirnie - said yes to the pyramid!
I am unaware of any Arthurlie tweet, I'd be obliged if you could give a link. Thx.

Arthurlie fans on here raging that their team wasn't contacted.
It would appear we weren't the only ones not contacted. Don't you wonder why?

It seems that whatever answer I give will be taken the way the recipient wants. Let’s see what happens in the coming month.
Maybe if you answered the straight forward question and stopped evading it..........................."Which clubs were sent the email, and why not all"?

Also could they provide details of the clubs that they contacted with this proposal?
This part is interesting as it seems that a number of clubs were unaware of the proposal. It would help if this question was answered.

Any advance on 1873?

My recollection is that East Craigie (Scotland's oldest junior side?) were about to fold so merged with Elmwood and kept the East Craigie name alive.
Arthurlie founded 1874, East Craigie 1880

That's the thing, it didn't go near Glasgow Central.
The Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway (L&AR) was an independent railway company built to provide the Caledonian Railway with a shorter route for mineral traffic from the coalfields of Lanarkshire to Ardrossan Harbour, in Scotland.
It opened in stages from 1888, being extended to Neilston and Newton, giving the Caledonian Railway a fully independent route by 1904. At the Ayrshire end the line duplicated the existing Glasgow and South Western Railway route at a time when bulk coal exports could be handled more economically in Clydebank, so that the primary purpose of the line was short-lived. The Caledonian Railway hoped to develop suburban traffic in south Glasgow where the new line passed through those districts, but street tramcars limited the success of this.
The duplicate routes to Ardrossan were wasteful and, as traffic declined, closures took place from 1930. The eastern section from Neilston and Newton to the Cathcart circle lines developed as outer suburban railways, and were electrified in the 1960s. Those branches, as they became, continue in intensive passenger use at the present day, but are the only remaining sections of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire line remaining in operation.
