Network Rail want to cut down trees next to Dalgety Bay Railway Station to prevent delays caused by leaves on the line.

It^s part of a national project to tackle Autumn-related issues which cause disruption to train services every year and pose a ^serious risk to rail safety^.

The proposals would affect a stretch around 1km and work would be carried out from August to December.
