On 15 May 2008, the Stirling-Alloa-Kincardine railway line re-opened for the first time in over 40 years. 

As one of the most important railway infrastructure projects in recent years, the reopening of the Stirling-Alloa-Kincardine line will deliver major social, economic and environmental benefits to the communities directly concerned and also to Scotland as a whole.

By reopening around 21km of track, the Stirling-Alloa-Kincardine Railway provides passenger services from Alloa to Stirling and freight services to Longannet Power Station. See map of route.
