Levenmouth Rail Link Opening & Ride on FIRST Train
On June 2nd 2024, a new railway opened in Scotland, comprising six miles of new track and two new stations. Join me as I ride the first passenger train along this line to visit the new stations at Leven and Cameron Bridge, and interview those who have been instrumental in the line's reopening!

Great seeing this line back open, I look forward to riding on it over the summer.
As a member of the Fife Heritage Railway, great to see more attention on us, hopefully You'll return for an open day soon...though I wish the line was still going all the way to St Andrews and Anstruther which would have been an incredible railway as the Fife coastal route was one of the most beautiful railways in Scotland.

Just released the full video of my look around which will hopefully bring some more publicity to you. I wish you the best of luck and will definitely be visiting again the next time I'm in the area!
Great to see you made it up there, and another good video!
Was great to meet you during opening day, really great video. I was one of many people to get off at Kirkcaldy to get the 1st train to arrive into Leven which had a more party vibe to it. It was a great weekend and a great video as well.

Yes judging from your videos (and others I've seen) the return train definitely seemed quite wild! Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for stopping by!
I'm late to the party, but as requested in the video, I hereby demand the full-length version. I was there on the first day - albeit later in the afternoon - and I never realised there were so many railway bloggers, but I can't get enough of their videos.

@@MikeWillSee Ah-hah, thank you. I realised that shortly after posting the comment.
Amazing video. I've seen you at Leven station and I didn't even know who you are until now. It was nice seeing one of your videos for the first time.

Glad you enjoyed!
Running commentary on the commentary... Oh look at you with your Australian cap! Boo no ticket office. Could our esteemed host be the first person to call for assistance at Leven? Can only imagine the look of surprise on face of person responding! Michael, of course we want a video on the Fife railway! It's a shame footbridges are totally blocked off, not only do people miss out on the views, but also creates a secluded area where there doesn't need to be one, even though I fully understand why it's the case. It's a shame Traveline Scotland still use a 0871 number, not cheap from a landline, a fortune to call off of a mobile. Should've been a circular shot of you getting a shot of you getting a shot of you getting a shot of you getting a shot et cetera ad nauseam. Really good video Michael, well done 👏👏👏 But also, why was I not subscribed?

Update: I've just released the Fife Heritage Railway video
Congratulations - you are the only non-Scottish KZreadr I've come across so far, to have pronounced 'Kirkcaldy' correctly! I don't understand what's so hard about it myself - we do have other words with silent l's after all... Perhaps you'll get 'Cardenden' correct too, once the enhanced service begins, too? If you'd like a clue, the noise comes before the foxes' lair...
I like to see a video of that yard.
