Boness and Kinneil Railway

Welcome to scot-rail.co.uk, Scotland's online railway community. The group is for any rail enthusiast interested in the railways and trains of Scotland. It not only consists of the wiki that you're reading now, but a busy online forum and mailing list, which was accessible to registered users. From April 2024 the forum has closed, with a replacement started on Groups.io.
The Bo'ness & Kinneil Railway runs from Bo'ness, on the banks of the Forth near Linlithgow, west then south to Birkhill where members of the public can visit the Clay Mine.

It is connected to the Edinburgh to Glasgow main line at Manuel.

The railway runs a weekend (mainly steam operated) service from April to December, supplemented with a seven day service in July and August. There are regular Thomas dates, a Summer and Winter Diesel gala as well as other special operating dates.
