An Edinburgh service (obviously) approaches the points at Larbert on 6 June after calling at the station. Simple geography would dictate that Larbert and Larbert North Junctions should be Larbert South and Larbert respectively, but the seemingly randon names of the various Cowlairs junctions demonstrate that common sense doesn^t always apply to such names.

With the location almost unrecognisable, this is 158867 coming round the curve from Edinburgh to meet the Glasgow line at Larbert Junction. Electrification is in progress and the junction box, latterly part of the training school, has gone. All three sides of the triangle now have masts, although not all have yet been erected and wires are not in place. This, I think, is as far as they reach for now. Bases for masts continue further and even onto the Alloa line and a smattering of masts at Larbert station.
