Kate Forbes has called for a solution to be found regarding the suspension of The Jacobite steam train that runs between Fort William and MallaigKATE Forbes has called upon West Coast Railways and the rail regulator to find a solution to the ongoing dispute over the safety of The Jacobite steam engine as businesses feel “enormous pressure”
Hospitality businesses have been losing thousands of pounds of revenue as a consequence and there are fears for how Mallaig will suffer in the summer if the matter is not resolved. Cathy Day, who owns Ben Nevis Guest House in Mallaig, said she had also started to see cancellations coming in, adding that another BnB next door had had more than 20 customers pull out of bookings since the announcement.
“The key message that businesses want to put out there is that Mallaig is still open for business. Scotrail trains run to and from Mallaig, they are very comfortable and ScotRail are trying to improve their marketing to remind people there are other ways of travelling. Mallaig is beautiful, so please visit.”Historic Scottish castle to host much-loved motoring event
