Network Rail is to hold drop-in events when local people can see plans for new station developments to be delivered as part of the Levenmouth Rail link project before they are submitted as planning applications to Fife Council.
The new station developments are at Leven and Cameron Bridge. At the community events, people can view the station designs, meet members of the project team responsible for delivering the stations, and put their questions directly to project team members.
The station plans were developed in conjunction with stakeholders, and these drop-in events follow Fife Council's consultation on the wider ‘place-making' aspects of the developments.
In finalising the designs for the stations, feedback from the council's consultation was taken into consideration and will be on display at the drop-in events.
The schedule for the Levenmouth Rail link project is that construction of the stations and opening of the rail link should be completed in Spring 2024.
The drop-in events are to be held as follows:
- Cameron Bridge – from 4pm to 7pm on Monday, 3rd October at the Methilhill Bowling Club, Main Street, Methilhill, KY8 2DP
- Leven – from 4pm to 7pm on Tuesday, 4th October at the Leven Centre, Commercial Road, Leven, KY8 4QW
Anyone who can't attend the drop-in events but would like to review the plans can find everything they need to know after the events on the Levenmouth pages of Scotland's Railway website at www.scotlandsrailway.com/projects
People who wish to submit questions on any aspect of the project should email them before the drop-in events to LevenmouthRailLink@networkrail.co.uk
Meanwhile, construction of the link reached its second mile in August.
Martin McKinlay, Network Rail's sponsor for the Levenmouth Rail link project. said: “The level of interest in the development of the stations and the project in general is phenomenal.
“We are looking forward to meeting the communities around the stations and we are confident that what we are proposing caters for their needs as future station users.
“We look forward to meeting everyone at the Community Drop-ins, presenting the plans for the station and answering any questions on the project”.
