38 trains pass through Newburgh every day but don't stop. Our station shut in 1955. We believe there is a strong social and economic case to reopen it.

We wait for some political activity regarding Newburgh Station. Maybe something from Westminster in response to a question posed by our MP. Perhaps the Scottish Transport can can provide an update, one that was promised back in January.

Fiona Hyslop, Scottish Minister of Transport is to take up an invitation by a number of Newburgh's local MSPs and visit the town sometime before the end of May. She wants to understand the how a reopened rail station will thoroughly galvanise business opportunities in Newburgh.

Scottish Transport Secretary Fiona Hyslop is visiting Newburgh today to see for herself why the town needs a train station. The Campaign with support from local politicians will make the case.

Stagecoach are to withdraw the Newburgh bus service to Cupar. The nearest train station to us will be 45 mins away in Perth. We seem to be getting further away from a station as the year progresses.

...and still we wait for a decision about getting our own halt from the Transport Secretary. She suggested more urgency in getting a decision than appears to be the case.
