Fife Rail Electrification/Decarbonisation

[AMD]

Does the loop get used much these days? There used to be an early morning weekday train that would run up ECS and use the loop to turn before heading to Glasgow (of all places) but I don't see that in the timetable.

It's used occasionally to turn back late runners. I ended up in it a year ago when my Leven service got cancelled at Kirkcaldy.
You can turn back on the Down line too, but invariably there's something on your tail by Kirkcaldy so having the siding means a cancelled train can get shunted out the way.

I love small but sensible decisions like this.

Like the decision to fully wire junctions where one route only is being electrified. Makes future electrification so much easier.

Makes future electrification so much easier.

Exactly.

Very nice to see the new Cardenden station footbridge, steps and lifts being installed!
