Crieff Junction

Crieff Junction

I knew that Stanley would be difficult to follow on some of the maps of the Scottish Midland Junction Railway, but there were two further stations on that line before Perth was reached and then after Perth, on the Scottish Central Railway, there are no less than four stations before Crieff Junction is reached, so in this case Crieff Junction can be posted again when that point is reached.......

To help matters along, the first of the two stations AFTER Stanley is....

Strathord
