News and Updates

The Far North Line has become the ninth community rail partnership in Scotland.

After more than three years of preparatory work, a voluntary committee has been successful in its application to the Scottish Government to have the Caithness and Sutherland section of the Far North Line (FNL) designated as the 9th Community Rail Partnership (CRP) route in Scotland. This designation should bring real benefits to the local communities along the line and also create opportunities, and hopefully funding, to promote the line, its communities, and the attractions that it connects.
