Status of the Stirling-Alloa-Kincardine line

[och aye]

What is the status of the 2008 reopened Stirling-Alloa-Kincardine line beyond Alloa since the power station at Longannet was closed, is it still in use or has it been mothballed?

So far as I know still in use for Fife Circle/Stirling "Steam Specials" & I'd guess the odd engineering train too.

It's still open but Longannet signalbox is only staffed when there is traffic booked. Also there have been big problems with vandalism to the signalling equipment recently, so the last few train movements have had to be run under Pilot working.
