This major infrastructure project will re-open approximately 21km of existing, disused and abandoned railway lines between Stirling Station and Longannet Power Station at Kincardine.

The tour is expected to involve a trip on the new passenger service and a short presentation on how such a major project was directly sponsored through the Development Plan of Scotland's smallest mainland planning service, involving the promotion of a unique Private Bill in the new Scottish Parliament.
