Work progresses on new railway station in Scotland

Since work began in January, the site of the new Cameron Bridge station is beginning to take shape.

Engineers are working to create new platforms as part of the £116m Levenmouth Rail Link project.

Work so far has included creating the base of the platforms and casting the concrete foundations.

The walls of the new platforms have been installed alongside work to create access roads to the new station – which has used recycled stone from the old Windygates station.

The station is due to open in 2024 and will have footbridges and lifts to serve the Western end of the new rail line, providing a rail link for the communities of Cameron Bridge and Methilhill for the first time in more than 50 years.

A bus stop and turning circle will provide onward transport links as well as a new 125 bay car park, which will have accessible spaces, cycle storage and electric car charging points.

Brian Walker, Network Rail project manager for the station works, said: “The new Cameron Bridge station is progressing really well and it is great to see the new infrastructure taking shape.

“For the local community, seeing the station coming out of the ground makes it a reality and in the coming months, people will continue to see progress with the station and the construction of the new bridge.”
