After a briefer than usual tunaround time, caused by a late arrival,
the unbranded 158 789 pulls out of bay Platform 5 at Perth on its return through Fife to Edinburgh on 31 May 2010. The 15 mile section between Hilton Junction and Ladybank is single-track throughout. It probably sees more passenger trains than it ever has, but has had no intermediate stations since 1955 when the line closed to passengers until 1975. Could at least Newburgh and Bridge of Earn have enough potential traffic to warrant reopening?
