Arbroath station
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.
