‘I'm an Edinburgh resident and I was shocked to find out
that there is no train station in St Andrews. I wish your
campaign every success.’ - Kirsten Hey, Edinburgh
‘In 1972-73 my family lived in St. Andrews and as a
teenager I was saddened to see the remains of the old
station demolished that year. The sense of outrage at the
recent loss of such an attractive means of transport
galvanized a personal and professional interest in public
transportation - especially railway - which has stayed with
me to this day.... I heartily support your campaign and
wish you every success.’ Marcus Garnet, LPP, Vice
President, Transport 2000 Atlantic, Nova Scotia, Canada

‘I have never understood why St Andrews let its railway go
so easily.’ Former BR employee, Helensburgh

‘I agree that this rail link should be re-instated, as a
visitor to the town for many years, it would be easier to
transfer luggage from one train to another instead of
having to haul it over the bridge to the taxi of bus
ranks.... visitors (tourists) are the ones who bring the
wealth into the area, therefore a direct link to the town
would be beneficial to everyone plus making it easier to
access the town....’ I.C.

‘I commend you on all the work and time you are spending on
trying to bring a rail-line back to St. Andrews. How
short-sighted were they to discontinue it in the first
place! I am looking at retiring to Scotland. I have been to
St Andrews and would like to retire there. However, without
a rail link, it is not as advantageous for an older citizen
to travel - especially to Edinburgh. I do not relish
sitting at the bus station in Leuchars when the East wind
blows off the North Sea in winter!’ - Kurt Rosenburg,
Portland, Oregon

‘As a former University of St Andrews student I completely
agree with the need for a rail link.’
David M. Kinnen, Coventry
