OBAN’S transport hub is to be redeveloped to become a more welcoming arrival point for visitors to the town.
Highlands and Islands Transport Partnership (HITRANS) manager Frank Roach described the existing railway station as looking like a prison, with its mesh fencing and less than appealing building, during a presentation to the Oban, Lorn and the Isles Area Committee last Wednesday (June 8).
The current layout of the transport hub, which includes the station and CalMac ferry terminal, is also to become more efficient in order to cope with increasing passenger flow.
