The Citizen article mentions Lord Steel’s ‘renewed greetings’ following his support for StARLink in the early days, and Sir George Reid’s message supporting a full feasibility study, saying,

Following the Tata report, I believe there should now be a feasibility study on similarly linking St Andrews to the Scottish rail network. It would be so pleasant to return again to the Old Grey Toun by train, as I did countless times when I was an undergraduate at the University there.’
