Forward Scotland broadly welcomes the railway franchise extension and the committments and provisions it provides. A wholly new community fund is a positive aspect that if handled well could provide a real legacy.
Forward Scotland
notes a number of key initiatives focussed around improvement to passenger
environment, safety and facilities. We
recognise the innovative nature of the stations community regeneration fund and
believe that it has the potential to provide an opportunity for those not
already engaged in railway activity to take ‘ownership' of an asset at the
heart of their community.
