Passenger services returned to Alloa for the first time in almost 40 years when the Stirling - Alloa - Kincardine rail link opened on Monday 19th May 2008.
The route re-opening was one of the most important railway infrastructure projects Scotland seen in decades. It is of critical importance to the regeneration of Alloa and Clackmannanshire in general.
The project saw approximately 21 km of out of use, disused and abandoned railway lines between Stirling Station and Longannet Power station in Kincardine re-open. It will deliver major economic, social and environment benefits to the communities directly concerned and also to the wider Scottish economy.
The Alloa railway station provides direct passenger services between Alloa, Stirling and Glasgow Queen Street. Connections to Edinburgh and the north can be made by changing at Stirling.
The line also offers potential freight services along the line and provides the option for freight trains to be diverted from the existing, longer route via the Forth Bridge.
