🚂 NEW EPISODE!
Could trains REALLY return to Peterhead & Fraserburgh?
Jordan Jack from @CNERail joins me to discuss why Buchan lost its railway, the campaign to bring it back – and whether an ambitious grassroots idea could actually become reality.

🚂 Could trains REALLY return to Peterhead and Fraserburgh?
This Friday I'm joined by Jordan Jack from @CNERail.
Why did Buchan lose its railway? Why bring it back? What would it cost and could this grassroots campaign actually make it happen?

Shocking that a city the size of Aberdeen is only the 230th busiest station. Needs more regional connections.

This video is a treat. Take 10 minutes out of your holiday to watch what must rank as one of the best local videos of the year. Makes a compelling economic, environmental and social case for a railway line from Aberdeen to Fraserburgh and Peterhead in NE Scotland.
Our latest video now has over 5000 views in two days! There is a deep appetite for new rail links in the North East, it's essential viewing @FionaHyslop! All we want for Xmas is funding for a Detailed Options Appraisal 🙏

And that's that! The Northumberland Line is now OPEN! Huge congratulations to campaigners who have achieved their goals and have returned passenger trains to their communities after 60 YEARS! It is possible, and we're determined to see it here!

Congratulations to @CNERail for getting the study completed. The benefits of re-establishing a rail connection to the North East are clear.
I will give this my support if elected as your MP.

This would be an amazing next step for our country's railways, we want more people on public transport so let's get people some public transport to get on!🏴🚉

We are 100% behind this campaign. In addition to the economic and road safety benefits mentioned in the report, there will be noise benefits as a new rail link will provide a realistic alternative to many car trips.

This is an excellent piece of work. We can see the benefits reinstating the railway has brought to the Borders - reconnecting the North East corner to the rail network is a project which deserves similar support from government, and I'm happy to reaffirm my support for it! 🚉
Boosting the economy, improving health outcomes, saving lives on the roads, connecting people to education....all together transforming people's lives. That's what extending the East Coast line to Fraserburgh and Peterhead will achieve. @FionaHyslop

New rail connections for the North East would "drastically improve people's economic fortunes, health outcomes, education and social inclusion"
Great to see the @CNERail campaign work gaining momentum

This is why we will continue to support an end to peak time fares and the proposals made by @CNERail.
We need to provide more affordable and sustainable transport options to people.
For people and planet must be more than a slogan. It must lead to positive change.
🏴Transport is the largest source of carbon emissions in Scotland.
🚄🚌🚋Encouraging people to use public transportation instead of driving plays a vital role in reducing carbon emissions.

ALT Where do Scotland’s climate emissions come from. Graph shows Transport as largest carbon emitter followed by industry, buildings, agriculture and finally electricity which has reduced massively over 15 years.

It already costs £17.20(!!) for an adult to take the bus from Peterhead to Aberdeen and back.
Service is often delayed or cancelled, but there's no competition... we need @CNERail NOW
