Detail from an OS One Inch Scottish Popular map of 1945 showing part of North Fife. At top left there's St Fort (pronounced Sandford) and the junction with the North Fife line. There's the already closed Leuchars (Old) at the start of the Tayport loop from Leuchars North Junction. Leuchars South box controlled Milton Junction, the start of the East Fife line. The closure here, at least as far as St Andrews, is regarded as one of the bigger Beeching mistakes. Does anybody really call Dairsie 'Osnaburgh' the alternative shown on maps even today? I dairsie only locals care. Crown copyright 1945.
