After a gap of many years Breich now has a proper service - to go with its completely rebuilt station. Of course nowhere in Scotland is boring, but Breich is as far from anywhere interesting as it is possible to be. It was the life model for ^Stoneybridge^ (look it up). An Edinburgh service calls on 3 July 2019.

Breich station was completely rebuilt and reopened with a full service in the May 2019 timetable. Summer vegetation means that it has already lost its rawness a matter of weeks later on 3 July. Note that no footbridge has been installed so passengers have to use the A706 (behind me).
