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.

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

Scottish Transport Minister Fiona Hyslop is set to visit Newburgh in Fife next month at the invitation of local MSPs to see how a reopened train station would galvanise the local economy.

The MSP will be accompanied by Fife Council, Sustrans and the New Train Station Campaign.
