There's always one!
10/10/08
Very long
letter in St
Andrews Citizen from Sandy
McNaughton, an Edinburgh-domiciled St Andrean,
apparently objecting to the ‘free publicity’ obtained
by the Starlink campaign, describing at length the
run-down of the original line and its closure, and
then suggesting that a new line would be very
expensive and could mean an interest in ‘rates for
the ratepayers of St Andrews’. He concludes that the
project is not economic, and that instead the signs
at Leuchars Station should be changed to ‘St Andrews
- alight here for RAF Leuchars’. Read

Liston, Starlink convenor, replied to Mr Waterston’s
