In 2020 the north-east of Scotland transport body
Nestrans secured £80,000 from the Local Rail Development Fund to explore the potential for additional stations between
Aberdeen and
Laurencekirk, including at Cove and
Newtonhill. Whilst a property developer has lodged proposals for 167 new homes close to where locals are calling for the new Cove railway station to be built, council officers have said there could still be space for a railway halt or station to be accommodated within the site. == References ==
