Thornton North Junction
It was a milestone moment for the Levenmouth Rail Link when the first new rails were laid on the project which will reconnect the town to the mainline passenger network for the first time in more than half a century.
Extensive preparatory activity around Thornton Junction to the west of the route has led to an early opportunity to put down the first new sections of rail on the project that will eventually see 19km of double track installed to create the branch line.
Existing track sections within the first mile of the rail corridor were utilised to deliver the new ballast, sleepers and rails to where they would be needed in the section.
