The sight of steam trains travelling in and out of Aberdeen may be a distant memory. But a heritage group has devised ambitious plans for a new service to the city after a refurbished turntable was installed at Ferryhill yesterday. The structure was removed from site in September 2016 and has been under repair at eBlast and RIM Fabrication in Kintore.
