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.
