The Campaign for North East Rail (CNER) and the Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce are seeking to create a new rail link connecting Aberdeen to Fraserburgh via Peterhead.
A new rail link connecting Aberdeen to Fraserburgh via Peterhead would deliver a north-east economic boom and reduce fatal accidents on one of Scotland’s deadliest roads, a key study has found.
The Buchan Sustainable Transport Study - commissioned by the Campaign for North East Rail and Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce - sets out options for a new rail line which would help address economic inequality across the region.
The preferred option consists of a new passenger and freight rail line created between Dyce and Fraserburgh via Peterhead, including a mix of reinstated track and new alignment.
