I welcome the latest announcement from Tayside and Central Scotland Transport Partnership (TACTRAN) and First ScotRail that a Sunday service is to be introduced in the new timetable at Broughty Ferry Station beginning on Sunday 9 December.
Currently no services call at Broughty Ferry on Sunday and this will increase to 7 calls as follows:
Northbound
09:37 Glasgow - Aberdeen service will call at Broughty Ferry at 11:18
16:05 Edinburgh - Aberdeen service will call at Broughty Ferry at 17:28
21:00 Edinburgh - Aberdeen service will call at Broughty Ferry at 22:28
Southbound
09:24 Aberdeen - Glasgow service will call at Broughty Ferry at 10:34
12:47 Aberdeen - Edinburgh service will call at Broughty Ferry at 14:00
19:07 Aberdeen - Edinburgh service will call at Broughty Ferry at 20:13
22:27 Aberdeen - Perth service will call at Broughty Ferry at 23:38
This announcement follows confirmation in September that Broughty Ferry Station is to receive an increase of 2 additional calls from Monday to Saturday with effect from December 2012.
I have written to TACTRAN to request the reissuing of an updated timetable for Broughty Ferry Train Services to coincide with the new timetable beginning on Sunday 9 December 2012.
I shall continue to press for a regular hourly train service on Northbound and Southbound trains from Broughty Ferry station. This will be more convenient and predictable for rail travellers and good for the environment. I will also continue to campaign for Fair Fares for local rail users.
