Local primary school pupils have helped turn their local station into an art gallery, thanks to the ScotRail station adopters at Leuchars.
The Fife MS Society, who recently adopted Leuchars station, set local primary schools the task of creating artwork to be displayed within the station. A prominent local artist, Linda Paton, took the winners pictures and transferred them onto boards, which have been attached to planters on the station platforms. The planters were built by local charity Men's Shed St Andrews. (Permalink) Leuchars |

A campaigner, who wants St Andrews linked to the national rail network, has said interest from professional bodies has brought the line a step closer to reality. Following the report commissioned earlier this year by the St Andrews Rail Link group, known as Starlink, the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport held an event to hear about the £70m proposals. If the group's 23-year campaign was to see the station become a reality, the town would be attached to the East Coast Main Line between Leuchars and Cupar with a 7.7km diversion in place. Trains would be able to run to Dundee in 20 minutes, and Edinburgh in around one hour and 20 minutes.
