Platform clearance for freight on Scottish project

Removing the platform at a former halt has cleared the way for double tracking at Cameron Bridge on the Levenmouth project, a new line for communities in the east of Scotland. Critically, the demolition of the redundant passenger station opens up the prospect of reconnecting freight to adjacent industrial installations. There are hopes that the new line will be the forerunner of many similar new installations in Scotland and elsewhere in the UK.

It would take a gigantic to push to get these companies to return to rail ! ( Subsidies? Grants ?). Why did they leave rail in the first place and switch to road? The end of Speedlink? Constant strikes? ( still a serious problem today but the unions don’t realise they are killing Rail freight or don’t care!). But we live in hope !
