VEGETATION clearance work and site surveys are underway as part of efforts to reopen the Levenmouth branch in Fife.
Network Rail Scotland engineers and contractors are removing decades of vegetation from the line, and undertaking site surveys and geological investigations to assist in planning and construction of 19 single-track kilometres of reinstated railway and two new stations. Work will continue until early-2021.
Environmental and ecological surveys have already been completed to identify species, roosts and habitats of animals that will need to be protected along the route.
