Managed to end up on the last ever #PeakRail train out of Dunfermline, which is both exciting and deeply annoying! No more £14 commuter tax for people choosing the green option into Edinburgh! (And only happening thanks to the @scottishgreens.org 💚)

Apart from a few telltale signs, this view would have looked very similar if the photo was taken 100 years ago. You can just about make out the top of the tower of St Giles Church.
