Itinerary
This tour is available as a free-standing booking for passengers joining us in the Edinburgh area for the Forth tour only (as well as an 'add-on' to the the 'Castle to Scotland' tour).
We begin our day at approximately 11:30am with passenger pick-ups at Linlithgow and Dalmeny before steaming over the majestic Forth Bridge towards our last passenger pick-up at Inverkeithing.
We then head out along the Fife coast and around the Fife circle, then follow the recently re-opened railway beside the estuary through Kincardine and Alloa to Stirling, where there will be a break of around 2 hours to visit the historic city centre or take photographs.
We then re-board the train, heading past the Bo’Ness Railway and over the Forth Bridge for a second time, setting down at Inverkeithing. Here a Diesel will attach itself to the rear of the train to take us back over the Forth Bridge a third time, setting passengers down at Dalmeny and Linlithgow.
