Levenmouth rail link to reopen: project updates

[Boff]

Does anyone know what type of junction will be installed for car access into Cameron Bridge Station?

Sorry if I didn't quite get what your looking for - but if you're asking for the road junction at the entrance to the car park, it's going to be a simple T-junction off the A915. Here's the layout plan for Cameroon Bridge as well:

Thank you - yes that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Although it’s fortunately not the cheapest possible T junction, as they are providing a decent size right turn lane for northbound traffic.

The Trackwatch page in the April Modern Railways has a description of the branch. For example the single lead from Thornton North Junction is 60 chains long. Despite the closure of foot crossings towards the western end, and the construction of a farm underpass, one user-worked crossing remains. Approaching Leven station there are of course a pair of crossovers. The text says the trailing crossover is to the west of the facing one but the accompanying diagram shows them the other way round. On the basis of photographs I've seen, I think the text is correct.

Confirmed on the letters page of the May issue.

That to help for when the new bus service starts.

Press release

Alternative walking route proposed following Levenmouth bridge delay

The active travel bridge connecting Methilhill to the new Cameron Bridge station will not be in place for the opening of the new line as the company building the structure has gone into administration.

The active travel bridge connecting Methilhill to the new Cameron Bridge station will not be in place for the opening of the new line as the company building the structure has gone into administration.

It was scheduled to be craned into position in mid-May and would have connected to the various active travel paths under construction, crossing the river and enabling direct access into the station.

Following discussions with the administrator to release the part-built structure and the need to source a new supplier to complete the bridge, it will now be in place in autumn.

Network Rail is working with Fife Council’s planning team to progress the installation of the bridge in the shortest possible timeframe.

In addition, the railway team and the council are working to create an alternative walking route from Methilhill to the new station at Cameron Bridge with the aim of opening before passengers services begin on Sunday 2 June.

Tommy McPake, senior programme manager, Network Rail, said: “We have had productive discussions with the administrators with a view to securing the release of the bridge components and finding an alternative supplier to get the structure completed.

“At the same time, we have been liaising with Fife Council to look at establishing a direct walking route to the station in advance of it opening in June.

“We will continue to work with the council planning team and local stakeholders to get the bridge installed as soon as possible.

“While this is a really disappointing situation, it’s unfortunately beyond our control. We will work with our partners to resolve this issue and not let it detract from the growing excitement around the return of the passenger railway after more than five decades.”
