Network Rail has applied to Fife Council for permission to change the use of land at Cameron Bridge Distillery, Cameron Bridge, Standing Stane Road in Windygates as it progresses the re-opening of the Methil branch line from Thornton.
The multi-million £ project is well underway with new stations being created in Leven to bring the town back into the rail network for the first time in decades.

In a supporting statement, it said: “Most overhead line equipment masts are being installed under permitted development rights. In this case it is proposed to install a mast to the east of railway bridge on land at Cameron Bridge Distillery which is outwith the ownership of Network Rail.”Councillors and officers will consider the application in due course.
