convenor Jane Ann Liston said, ‘More detail of these
figures is required; nevertheless it is clear that
the train journey terminating 5 miles short of the
course, requiring a change to a bus, has been a major
discouragement to golf fans travelling by train. If
that happened despite the buses waiting to meet the
trains, and a police escort to the course to avoid
congestion, then how much more are passengers
discouraged in the ordinary course of events when the
buses do not connect and they are not escorted past
traffic jams. If we are serious about trying to cut
down car use to St Andrews then the railway must be
restored.’
