Levenmouth rail link plans unveiled
Double tracking and electrification to be progressed and station locations confirmed.I think they need to wear more noticeable clothing. There might be a train coming.
So pleased to read of the latest progressing developments. Best wishes and sincere congratulations to you all for such your steadfast work and unstinting campigning efforts!
Great to hear this but a little disappointed we learned the news via the media.
We have received several assurances of "community engagement" about the stations and we're concerned that the Levenmouth people's wishes for a range of facilities in addition to a platform and bus shelter won't be taken into account
New train station sites announced for Leven line
The return of rail services to Levenmouth has moved a step closer with confirmation by Transport Minister Graeme Dey that the line would be double tracked and electrified.Keep lobbying your councillors, MSP's and M.P's. Keep the pressure on to have the facilities you deserve to have and make the Levenmouth area great for tourists, as well as locals.
I see they've finally acknowledged that the project is behind - the article says it will now open in 2024 subject to planning. That's a sneaky way of blaming Fife Council for any delay. Not surprising the opening has been pushed back to 2024 given that at each successive stage NR gets further behind.
What stock are they planning to use, as the announcement by the Minister is that it will be electrified from the start - but the line to Edinburgh won't be by 2024.
Where exactly is the windygates station???
Calum Cape
Looks like a busy summer ahead if Network Rail's revised timetable gets underway. The Announcement of Preferred Options (stations and infrastructure) is now slated for June 2021. Old track is lifted and recycled - July 2021; then Planning and Consenting process for stations – Summer 2021. It's certainly running several months later than the last published timetable but we hope they can catch up.
