Cairngorm campaigners dismay as planning application lodged to repair the funicular [Press and Journal]





Date: 13/03/2020

Highlands and Island Enterprise (HIE) has lodged a planning application to repair the beleaguered funicular railway. But campaigners Save the Ciste say throwing £10 million at repairs will not solve the resorts problems, with skiers disappearing steadily since the closure of two chair lifts and three surface lifts between 2002 and 2007, after the funicular opened.
