Broken gas main disrupts services along Fife coast
RAIL services along the Fife coast were disrupted from January 31 for several days after an excavator carrying out ground investigation work on the railway struck a gas main. With an exclusion zone imposed and local evacuations of some properties and a leisure centre, ScotRail, LNER and CrossCountry services were suspended, with rail replacement bus services introduced between Dundee and Montrose. The line reopened on February 2.
