Kyle of Lochalsh

What at first glance might seem like an extreme way of avoiding the ticket barriers... is in fact part of the extensive safety work carried out during September and October 2009 on rock faces at the western end of the Kyle line. This resulted in temporary closures to both road and rail links during the period. This scene shows work in progress just outside Kyle of Lochalsh station on 29 September as the 1435 service leaves for Inverness. Note the old Kyle signal box still standing in the background.
