St Andrews railway 'like trip to Mars', says resident
Friday, 23 November 2012
Mr Allan Chalmers takes comfort in the fact that a
Scottish Transport Appraisal Guidance exercise will
have to examine all possible transport links between
St Andrews and the main line. However the Starlink
campaign welcomes this and is confident that the rail
proposal will prove superior to road alternatives.
Despite the welcome increase in the frequency of
buses to Leuchars Station, there has so far been no
sign of the already-overflowing car-park emptying.
And anyway, with St Andrews being a net importer of
labour, as well as a renowned tourist destination and
university town, the pool of potential rail
passengers is much wider than Mr Chalmers appears to
realise.
