![Extract from an OS one inch map published in 1957. It contains a rare representation of the elusive line connecting RNAS Donibristle with the East Ness jetty at Inverkeithing, used to transport seaplanes. The start of the branch and level crossing can be made out, but the next stretch is missing, as are all details of the airbase (and Rosyth Naval Dockyard) for national security reasons. Note that Dalgety Bay was then just that: a bay. [Crown Copyright 1957.]<br>

![It looks like our national infrastructure operator is branching out <br>
into retail ironmongery, at least according to this van seen at <br>
Inverkeithing station on 24 July. Behind it, the marks in the rock show why it took so long to widen the vehicle access to the station a few years ago to include a bus turning circle. The brambles turn out to have been surviving on a thin covering of soil on top of solid rock which had to be laboriously (and noisily) chipped away. Blasting would have been out of the question, I imagine...<br>
