High-speed rail on track
Monday, October 6th, 2008The Scottish Government has again signalled its support for high-speed rail from London to Scotland. The re-affirmation came as Conservative Party leader, David Cameron, pledged to fund a high-speed line as far as the Scottish border – were he to become Prime Minister.
The Conservatives had earlier drawn criticism for omitting to mention Scotland in their plans for high-speed rail.
In Scotland, meanwhile, a new study by consultants Atkins, has reinforced the case for planned improvements to the principal rail link between Glasgow and Edinburgh.
