    Turbostar 170431 exits the tunnel with 2G49, 0933 Newcraighall to Edinburgh via the Fife Circle. Despite its short length the tunnel has a kink in it as the contractor digging the tunnel missed the two working headings by the width of the bore. Hence the speed limit.

    A move to Seafield, just at the edge of Kirkcaldy at the site of the former Seafield Colliery. It is now a housing estate and part of it provides a grand viewing platform for the railway southbound. 158733 is seen again working 1L12 1057 off Perth fo Edinburgh.
