Recommended service - hourly, according to the GWRUS. Let's work towards that service and towards ensuring all services are used.

Tain - Dunrobin Vintage Rail Plan Steaming Ahead
« on: December 27, 2006, 11:54:03 AM »

Tain Heritage Rail Group is hoping that it will be able to have a summer service running from Tain to Dunrobin within two years (link below.)

There are hopes that the group , which will promote the service and sell tickets , can also take over Tain Station.

They are looking into raising £180,000 to refurbish the Victorian-era station at Tain , which is a condition of securing a lease for the mothballed building from Network Rail.

Service - wise , the train would run on the existing Highland line. It would then uncouple and turn around at Brora for the return trip to Tain.

Graham , I believe that you take a particular interest in this area and its railways. Can you tell us more?
