I don^t believe the Alloa line timetable has changed substantially since reopening in 2008. A half-hourly service all day would be possible though presumably deemed uneconomic - or just unnecessary. I had never been to Alloa before 2008 and still can^t come to terms with its existence. A Glasgow service turns round on 26 September 2019.

385124 has a 34 minute layover at Alloa before heading back to Glasgow with the 1540 hrs service to Queen Street on 19 March 2019.
