LevenMouth Return our Railway to Leven

There used to be an extensive railway around Levenmouth. The tracks of this rail network still exist. Until very recently the coal trains ran to the power station in Leven. The railway was removed in favour of car transportation and since then this has left the town economically stranded and has had a detrimental effect on the community. To date people living in Leven are by far the largest urban concentration in Scotland not served by direct rail links. The line is intact, unlike others which have been granted meaning that the costs would be vastly reduced in repair. We only have very poor alternative transport modes, especially road, despite the very large population and industrial base. We have significant growth in housing and thus population which is not served by necessary infrastructure. We are terribly affected by being cut off. I have not been able to sell my house in seven years despite it being a period property in the town centre, the crisis made worse by low employment opportunities in the area. The return of a railway would constitute a green alternative to constantly building roads and cars thereby lessening the climate impact. As a coastal and golfing town, we have much to offer families and visitors as we did before our railway was taken away without our consultation. We need our trains back.
