St Andrews marooned by myopic vandalism
09/04/23
The letter
continues ‘A prime example is St Andrews, a most
important tourist destination, left marooned 6 miles
from the East Coast Main Line by BR's indiscriminate
cull of branch lines. Fobbing off the only Scottish
university town bereft of a station with renaming the
existing bus service a 'virtual branch line' is an
insult which will do very little if anything to stem
the ever-increasing onslaught of car-borne visitors,
commuters and students which pours into the
town.’
