Historic railways

[edit]

The next station on the Tayport branch (the main line before the Tay Bridge route was constructed) is listed as Tayport East, but I have been unable to find a reference to a station of that name, only Tayport. Also the original Leuchars station (later know as Leuchars Old) lay between what was then Leuchars Junction and Tayport, so should it not be listed as the next station?

Chains?

[edit]

Why are the rail distances always given in chains? This has no significance for today's reader. Valetude (talk) 10:54, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Valetude: because that's what the reliable sources use; I've added a suitable link. Please see also the discussion at Talk:Darlington railway station#Distance from London. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 13:37, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not all trains stop at Leuchars

[edit]

For some years now, there has been one daily train from Aberdeen (currently 07:07) to Edinburgh that does not stop at Leuchars (even on Saturdays) and goes non-stop from Dundee (currently 08:22) to Haymarket (currently 09:21).
