According to DRS Merryton Jct. - Brocketsbrae was TC - ?/01/1941 - ?/05/1945, as recorded against all intermediate stations. However, RPSGB makes no mention of this and B1295 Jun 1941, B1305 Apr 1942, B1322 Sep 1943 and B1328 Mar 1944 all show a service operating to Brocketsbrae.
Also the one train a week to Coalburn via Brocketsbrae (see Brocketsbrae (excl.) - Alton Heights Jct.) is also shown as running in B1305 Apr 1942, suggesting the TCD is most likely incorrect.
