Yeah, in a way, such passenger movements need only constitute niche demand eg Skinflats & (via a double-chord) Kincardine, fulfillable via bus-connections nearer Falkirk TC. As existing cross-Forth movements (eg freight) from 'the Grange' have to cross trackpoints and change direction west of...

My initial interest in linking Grangemouth with West Fife stemmed from the closeness of the WF line. On reflection container-shipping may understandably pre-empt bridge construction in the immediate locality. Therefore a slight westwards curve approaching (already road-bridged) Kincardine may be...

'Predicted usage? Those Fife-Falkirk (& beyond either/each way) movements where present cross-Forth movements do not require to service intermediate stations of the latter. I consider that there is a viable demand for traffic which could also relieve the Forth Bridge of capacity issues.

As fears abound of Low Usage to proposed reopening of Grangemouth Passenger Services (inc' Station), has condideration ever been given to connecting it via a dual-chord to the West Fife Line? I appreciate the navigational height issues for Container Shipping/manouevrability but dry land north of...

Many thanks for your prompt (almost to a fault) reply to my intetest expressed in the disused EK-Hamilton rail route. However, I'm wondering can anyone 'shed light' on my other two areas of interest. (A) I observe mention of the necessity to equip present Forth Bridge traffic with (a)...

I am encouraged by East Kilbride's (eventual) inclusion in CLYDEmetro. I am 'open' to possible (although not necessarily) reutilisation of redundant trackbed onward eastbound of its current terminus. Very minimal Land Acquisition or Realignment appears to be necessary around High Blantyre were...

It's no bad thing that UK's (Classic Compatible) Structure Gauge would only accommodate rolling stock that are of Single Deck and/or (slightly interlaced) 'Interdeck' i.e. the latter taking cues from Bristol's Lodeka Bus. TOCs & transport regulators don't really WANT passenger capacity increases...
