Starlink congratulates Alloa
09/08/21
In
the Courier
Starlink
convenor Jane Ann Liston noted that until a year ago
Alloa didn’t even have a railway station but that,
unsurprisingly, their service was being used by many
more passengers than predicted. As to St Andrews, not
only would a railway reduce the traffic in the town
but it would also cut through-traffic in Cupar. The
importance of safeguarding land for a route in the
forthcoming plans was also stressed.
Alloa is a historic burgh as is St Andrews, but it is not nearly as much as a tourist destination as the latter. Neither is Alloa a university town or the Home of Golf. So if Alloa can sustain a rail service, with passenger numbers well in advance of what was predicted, then so can St Andrews.
