A tourism forum has given its backing for bringing rail back to Fraserburgh and Peterhead. SNP MSP Karen Adam held the second virtual meeting of her ambitious initiative, 'Making the Most of the Coast: Tourism Forum' earlier this month. Stakeholders of Ms Adam's Tourism Forum welcomed leaders of the Campaign for North East Rail (CNER). Attendees were able to pose questions to CNER on the viability of the campaign and what benefits bringing rail back to the towns could bring.
