Changes are on their way! With one lone electrification gantry in place at Stirling, the march northwards of the wiring continues whilst the one hundred and fourteen-year-old signal box in the background lives on; for the moment anyway controlling the newly installed colour lights. 170470 arrives at Stirling with the 11.18 Glasgow Central to Alloa working. Alloa is on the fright only line that continues along beside the Fife estuary to Dunfermline. It serves the huge Longannet coal-fired power station but with its imminent closure, the future of the line beyond Alloa is in question.
