This has largely eliminated the trespass of many taking the short cut directly across the railway entering via the access to Aviemore Signalbox</p> <p>Can someone get access the the project team? At this late stage, is there any likely change to plans for culverts being renewed or upgraded? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21064#post-362611 Sat, 13 Aug 2022 08:15:27 +0000 chdot 362611@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/fife/3588718/levenmouth-railway-picnic-protest/" rel="nofollow">https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/fife/3588718/levenmouth-railway-picnic-protest/</a> </p>
