Further Notes
Closure date speculative based on timetable searches and assumption that the service ceased with the outbreak of WW2. B1273 Aug 1939 is the last timetable to show a service over this section of line until the introduction of the Fife Circular service from 15/05/1989.
Confirmation or otherwise of this would be greatly appreciated.
