![This September 1999 view at Inverkeithing was taken from the old <br>
footbridge near the south end of the platforms. It was removed a couple of years later when a fancier bridge with ramps and better accesses was built to the north. The right-hand backgound has also changed a fair bit since, and of course GNER, the operator of this 125 to Aberdeen, is history too (as even is its successor). <br>

couple of months left of Class 117s operating out of Edinburgh from <br>
