This section of line went out of use in 1979 but was rebuilt in 2008 to allow coal imported through Hunterston to access Longannet power station without using the Forth Rail Bridge at Queensferry. Since the closure of Longannet powerstation in 2016 the line has seen only occasional use. Hopes of resurrecting a passenger service have not, as yet, been developed into firm proposals.
