A Sense o Place | Episode 4

In early 2021 the Campaign for North East Rail launched their proposals to revolutionise North East Scotland's rail network. One of their main proposals is to reinstate the Formartine and Buchan Line, which was closed during the Beeching Cuts more than 50 years ago. This would re-connect two of Aberdeenshire's largest towns - Fraserburgh and Peterhead - with the rail network and would likely have significant environmental impacts. With the Scottish Government aiming to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2045, Finn Nixon investigates these potential impacts of reinstating the line.
