It took years to come, but at long last the people of Lochaber are getting a second Sunday service to and from Mallaig to Glasgow Queen Street, courtesy of ScotRail, bringing us into line with Oban, which has enjoyed Sunday services for years.
Let us hope the next phase for Lochaber is new or refurbished coaches to replace the almost 40-year-old, run-into-the-ground ice boxes the travelling public and the onboard staff have suffered.
They call it one of the world’s most scenic journeys on the West Highland Line. So ScotRail, let your passengers travel on trains worthy of the name.
