Newburgh Train Campaign

The Newburgh train station shut in 1955. 38 trains pass through the heart of the town every day but do not stop. A reopened station will be the catalyst for Newburgh's economic revival - a propering town contributing to the economy of Scotland.
We wait to hear the 26/27 budget announcement in parliament tomorrow. We hope to hear good news. Newburgh has waited 15 years for a yes. It really is time that the town, AND other rural communities like it, get connected to rail.
Fiona and John, can we have a station please?

Transport Scotland have had the Newburgh station business case for a year. Odd. It is not complicated. It makes no mention of shopping malls or space ports. It simply highlights the huge benefits a small unmanned modular station can bring to our community.

Mark Ruskell, Scottish Green MSP has made amends to a Conservative transport motion. he suggests that sustainable, public transport and active travel should be priortised over large-scale road building. He writes about reconnecting communities such as Newburgh to the rail network

A train station for Newburgh will be one for many other small rural communities that could be connected to rail. They don't need £22m of full-featured station. A simple 15-75m platform will do. This could be a sustainable revolution in simple access to rail in rural places
