Buchan Rail Campaign

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.

CNER Roundtable

We co-hosted a roundtable at BrewDog with CNER to discuss the Buchan Rail campaign. The roundtable was well attended representatives from the UK Parliament, Scottish Parliament, Aberdeen City Council, Aberdeenshire Council, Nestrans, Transport Scotland, SSE Thermal, Lunar Freezing, Apollo Engineering and Scotland’s Railway.
