An interesting idea, but maybe off topic? Blair had a branch from Coupar Angus - the terminus site was pretty much where Tesco is now - so doesn't satisfy this thread. But I agree that the place could do with a big perk up, it's become the backwater of Perthshire.
Presumably, your new route would follow the old Caledonian main line from Stanley to beyond the Tay crossing, and then head there directly rather than via Coupar?
Agree with you that the area is definitely the backwater of Perthshire.
Ideally, the route would go via Coupar Angus, but direct to Blairgowrie would be a decent starting point I reckon. For a town (and surrounding areas) with a population of ~10,000 the transport links are far from sufficient, both on road and rail.
I do feel however that somebody, somewhere, is missing a trick by not considering a station at Inveralmond though.
On another note, it's a great shame Scone is in the worst location possible when it comes to possible connectivity with rail.
