Levenmouth Rail Link Opening Day 2nd June 2024

The first passenger service leaves Edinburgh for Leven 55 years after the service was closed.

I always love seeing a line reopened. Keep 'em coming!

Good to see the line back in action. Hope it is well used and the first of many.

[@jamesnicoll8415]

So many negative naysayers on here. We should be congratulating the Scottish government on opening ANOTHER rail line and giving a boost to the towns they serve. Well done. 👍

These lines should never have closed in the first place the line I'd like to see reopened is the calender line that's another one that shouldn't have gone like many connel ferry that's another,

Is a 158 the best you can do Scotrail ?

[@user-pw5ls9ti2j]

ONE train an hour each way (even at rush hour): Scotrail are hardly expecting a stampede of passengers! Is anyone new actually going to use this new service to justify the expense in the re-opening of the line and its day-to-day running? Or will it simply pull a few existing bus passengers who would’ve transferred onto the train at Kirkaldy, thus losing revenue for the existing local bus services?

ScotRail and network rail at their worst!! Opening 2 more concrete bus shelters and calling them railway stations! A con!! Just propaganda and photo shots for SNP politicians and their own publicity!! Couldn't network rail have a little bit more imagination and build proper stations rather than something from Legoland!! Every station is the same!! I worked 10 years on the railway and in no hurry to visit these lego blocks!! Thomas the tank stuff 😅!!!

It’s all down to money 💵 😠

[@GarethJonesPilipala]

From the video I thought the stations looked remarkably good and certainly weren’t the typical bus shelter designs you find on many reopened lines. You need to see some of the reopened stations on Transport for Wales lines to see what a basic railway looks like!

[@user-sp5bz2uq8b]

@@GarethJonesPilipala thanks, wish I lived in Wales, must visit. Sadly we have ScotRail up here which although owned by the Scottish government, is contracted out to private companies! Why can't network rail employ someone who could design proper buildings rather than Legoland stations!!!

[@jamesreid6519]

My god taking the opportunity as you obviously have a huge grudge against network rail and scotrail, I’m sure the good people of Leven will be forever grateful with your negative comments.

What an unpleasant person you are. Feel free not to come back. See U Next Tuesday as they say.
