Rail bid signals good news for Stranraer line's future [Galloway Gazette]





Date: 09/10/2014

News this week that a new operator will take over the next ScotRail franchise means a brighter future for rail services in Wigtownshire.
That is the claim made by SNP MSP for the South of Scotland Aileen McLeod, who said the awarding of the Scotrail franchise to Abellio will see specific commitments to the Stranraer-Ayr line.
This is likely to include support for community rail partnerships, services between Stranraer and Ayr every two hours and the introduction of a Scenic Railway Service on the line to attract visitors.
