Disagreements over changes to the Kinlochleven to Fort William bus service resurfaced last week as future timetable arrangements remain uncertain, writes Neill Bo Finlayson.
At a meeting of Lochaber Transport Forum’s Bus Users’ Group last Friday, there was uncertainty over changes to the Kinlochleven timetable. It was recently changed so that the last bus leaving from Fort William was reinstated and the second last bus changed to the earlier time of 8pm. Fort William and Ardnamurchan councillor Niall MacLean said: ‘There’s a lot of talk of Highland Council not having the money. We can’t afford not to have a bus service.’
Mr MacLean continued: ‘People have left and lost their jobs because of the timetable changes. Residents found out flve days before the change. They were penalised without consultation.’
