Welcome to Waverley Station in Edinburgh where behind me you can see the final preparations
00:10
for the launch of the Leven Rail Link, a £116 million transport project, the single biggest
00:16
one of its kind in Scotland, goes live this morning for the first commuter trains on Sunday.
00:21
We're on the train later this morning for a very special journey.

...and joy for the people of Levenmouth as we resolve a historic wrong,
03:21
and we reconnect this community to the rail network.
03:25
It's a day for celebration, it's a day of new opportunity,
03:29
it's a day of delivering for the people of this community.
03:32
And it's my enormous pleasure to now open the Levenmouth Rail Link
03:36
and to wish everybody good fortune as they use this magnificent piece of infrastructure
03:42
to connect to the communities of Scotland.
03:45
Thank you very much.
