There's not even a kiosk at Altnabreac, Scotrails statement is false. How could you do maintenance on something not even there?
The press release is probably written by someone who knows very little about railways and hasn’t a clue where Altnabreac is. The days when the people who produced the railway‘s press releases were given a good basic knowledge of railways and could check what they didn’t know are long gone; they are all media studies graduates who know ****** all about anything except PR.
My feeling about the whole sorry story is that there are at least two separate individuals or groups involved and everybody has lost track of who is doing what. Nor does it sound as though the versions of those concerned are likely to be impartial.
I am sure that when the station house was sold the limits of the property and any covenants allowing access were clearly laid out. The one thing I do wonder is whether road acccess was by ‘custom and practice’ and the effect on the access track of the use by Network Rail of heavier vehicles has brought matters to a head or created an excuse to gain leverage for other complaints.
