Reopening of the West Highland Line
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the reopening of the West Highland Line; notes that the line was reopened ahead of schedule; understands that engineers have repaired and installed additional protections on an 80-metre stretch of railway at Lochailort, after flash flooding washed away a large section of the railway; recognises that this work was carried out under difficult circumstances, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and thanks Network Rail’s engineers, staff and the contractors, QTS and Story, for their efforts.
