Alloa - Stirling Reopening Celebrations

[JonathonAG]

In height of the re-opening of the Stirling - Alloa branch for passenger service on May 19th, the SRPS ran a series of shuttles today between Alloa and Stirling, being the first public passenger trains to come from Alloa in 40 years! The trains were top and tailed by Ex-LNER K4 No. 61994 "The Great Marquess" and Deltic No. 50022 "Royal Scots Grey". The trains were well received by enthusiasts, the public and locals alike...and it's a forerunner for the opening of further lines in Scotland!:

The ECS from Bo'ness to Alloa via Thornton passes through Cowdenbeath

The S-A-K runs:

Much more from the today up here : http://jonathonag.fotopic.net/c1511104.html

Expect some shots of the Mogul on Sunday, getting out the bike and will be doing 30+ miles of cycling to follow her about the Fife Circle!

Thanks

Jonathon
