It shows a pair of class 26s passing Haymarket depot with the 14.50 Edinburgh Waverley - Inverness (green D5335 and blue D5344, both of Inveness). Having restarted from its first stop at Haymarket the train will travel via the Glenfarg line, calling at Inverkeithing, Rosyth Halt, Dunfermline, Cowdenbeath and Kinross Junction to reach Perth at 16.03, quicker, if only by a few minutes, than the equivalent service today which stops only at Kirkcaldy and Markinch.<br>
