I'm a member of the Boyd DNA project, and am one of about 30 men who are in the "noble line".

Great video Simon. I've walked the route several times since 1975, especially the section featured here. It was a very short-sighted closure indeed, and until the end it hosted express traffic including the London King's Cross to Perth car sleeper, as well as being a local lifeline to the folk of Kinross.

I travelled on this line as a child - the motoeway is total crap - what noncebag OKed the closure?

Excellent video with great information - thank you 🙂

Very interesting

Thank you. I follow with interest.

Excellent presentation, thank you very much 👍

The last half hour or so consists of an interesting Q & A session.

Came across this whilst attempting to undertake some research regarding HMS Forest Moor 'Y Station', as this is truly fascinating stuff to say the least. Also heartwarming to know that such equipment is also be preserved along with the stories behing them.

They should look after all that it took a lot of effort and money to build all that ,it’s part of Scotland’s history shouldn’t neglect it ,never say no perhaps one time in the future the line may open again for tourists and the public it’s a scheme it was closed ,like a few other lines in fife ,old jimmy x pat I enjoyed your video thankyou

The best video I have seen on the tunnels - great stuff!

Are you using zoom for the meeting ?

There may be a plan to reopen it and a new rail line , it is on a new plan and new stations too

Thank you for all the research you put into this, David and Sheila. The presentation was very informative and added another couple of pieces to the jigsaw of my own information.

Very interesting talk and well illustrated. Sorry not to have been there on the night. Bruce

I hung a halloween skeleton there on 4th November, 2012 to 'scare' a group of walkers I led around a route, including the tunnels. I wonder if it is the same one?

Hi Neil, a smashing wee video and well done to Simon and his friends for making it. I walked this line with a friend around 2006 ish and the two knackered cars were in the south tunnel at that time along with a host of farm machinery .. we had no torch so was a challenge for us to get through too lol !! The gradient from Perth to Glenfarg was such that locomotives were often double banked (two engines coupled together) in order to cope with the load they were pulling and when looking at the climb from Perth up to the Glen you can understand why. Even if you are not a railway enthusiast it's a worthwhile walk to do .... good one !! Cheers, Barrie

Really interesting video. Thanks for sharing.
