Transform Scotland's press release:
'
Transform Scotland's Inter-City Express Campaign aims to see investment in the railway between the Central Belt of Scotland and Inverness brought up to the level being spent on roads (£6bn on the A9 and A96 upgrades). We are looking for a major investment programme to bring the railway up to 21st century standard by dualling the track, electrification and other enhancements.

'An important element of our proposal is the re-opening of the line between Inverkeithing and Perth, which would give a reduction in journey time of at least 30 minutes to Perth and beyond. We have therefore been pressing for the safeguarding of remaining track and infrastructure from non-rail development which would inevitably lead to increased costs when the line is reconstructed.'

Looking north to Kelty station, junctions and marshalling yards in 1989. Unfortunately the trackbed has been heavily landscaped and you'll need your imagination. A cutting here ran from the foreground off to the left with the station by the distant buildings to the left. The station building, somewhat confusingly, survives at Loch Leven having been moved see image [[17062]]. Behind the camera was the junction between the 'new' line from Cowdenbeath [2nd] and Lumphinnans. This photograph was taken to compare with K M Falconer's photograph in 'Scottish Steam in Colour' on page 93.
