A proper Railway Adventure at Alloa had us walk down part of the Alloa Wagonway where some of the very first iron rails were used in Scotland - predating the railway proper by almost a hundred years! Rudy visited Alloa on the 17th of August 2023 arriving at 11:03 on a train from Glasgow Queen Street.

Alloa railway station is a railway station in the town of Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland.

The station was first opened in 1850, and operated until 1968; an 1850 station building was replaced in 1887 by a new building, which was demolished after the 1968 closure and lifting of railway lines.

The Scottish Executive funded a replacement railway line between Stirling and Alloa in the early 2000s, and the station was reopened on Monday, 19 May 2008.
