I was thinking about going over Alloa way for a look, possibly when it has a 16 minute scheduled stop at Alloa loop, though I would like to see it along the coast at Culross. Then I noticed something on RTT which puzzled me:

Charlestown Jn 1853
Longannet S.B. 1953

I am fairly familiar with that section due to cycling along it. There are a number of private crossings and small gate pedestrian crossings. And is it is a section rarely available for transit, so I can understand taking time on it. But still, an hour seems a very long time to take to travel about 11 miles.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

If anyone is interested I have posted some pictures of 60103 out and about around Fife today at the link below. She made a fine sight indeed so huge applause to all who look after and drive her.

Water stop at Newmills.

SRPS have done this on some of their Forth Circle tours over the last few years.

Cheers, I went to Culross and someone mentioned the water stop. Drat, found out to late! Hundreds out to see the train. In retrospect, I would have been better at Kincardine.
