Railway engineering is a multi-faceted engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction and operation of all types of rail transport systems. Sir Thomas Bouch designed the railway rather cheaply, which caused issues: the sleepers of the rail-line were set up four feet apart, which is wider spacing than usual. The poor craftsmanship caused a train to derail — this was the start of the end of the railway. In 1969, the railway was finally closed due to the decrease in popularity. The end of the old railway is now the bus centre in St Andrews!
