The British Railways IRB station, which was established in May, 1968, on the south side of the River Tay to provide protection for the teams of workmen on the bridge, receives training assistance from the Droughty Ferry life-boatmen.

The British Railways IRB is available for combined services.

In appreciation of the co-operation they are receiving from the R.N.L.I., British Railways late last year entertained Coxswain Alick Mackay and the Broughty Ferry life-boatmen to lunch at Dundee. Cheques in appreciation were presented by British Railways, including one for £20 to the Broughty Ferry branch of the R.N.L.I..
