A 100-day countdown clock to the return of rail services to the Levenmouth line was set in motion on February 23 by Fiona Hyslop, Scotland’s Transport Secretary. Countdown clocks were also unveiled at the new stations in Leven and Cameron Bridge.
The six-mile line from Thornton Junction will reopen on June 2, reconnecting communities in Fife for the first time in 55 years with trains running to/from Edinburgh. Driver training began in January.
Fiona Hyslop said:“The reopening of the line will bring real opportunities to communities, businesses, and visitors, in the Levenmouth and the wider Fife area. The two new stations will reduce the need for car travel and in doing so contribute to the wider decarbonisation of transport.”
