I think we missed Pittenzie Halt, between Crieff Junction and Crieff

Sorry - cancel that, it seems only to have had a platform on the Crieff Junction Railway. The two single lines are running parallel at this point.
In fact it didn't open until 1958, after the C&MR had closed to passenger traffic.

The sole reason why Pittenzie Halt (opened 15 September 1958/closed 6 July 1964) could not be shown on this journey was that the railway that the station, together with another four stations, lies on the line of the Crieff Junction Railway, which is a line that is not made mention of on the preliminary preamble that introduced the current journey which we find ourselves upon.

The Crieff Junction Railway was constructed to provide a link between Crieff on the Crieff and Comrie Railway and Gleneagles on the Scottish Central Railway.

It is nevertheless interesting that Pittenzie Halt was located between Crieff Junction (where the CJR and C&MR joined) and Crieff. So on a small scale map it looks as though it served trains on both lines. In fact (for the reasons I explained) it didn't

This station is still an open station. At the turn of the last century, the Caledonian Railway rebuilt the station on the original site.
