The line has now been re-instated for the four miles (6km) between Brechin railway station and Bridge of Dun railway station and since 1993 trains have run at weekends during the summer as well as on special occasions at other times of the year. The two railway stations have also been refurbished. Although the line originally went all the way to Montrose, which is still a station on the main rail network, there are no immediate plans to link the Brechin line back into the main rail network. However this is still seen as a long term aim as it would only require the re-instatement of a short length of track.
