DYCE RAILWAY STATION FUNDING

Brian Adam, MSP for Aberdeen Donside, had welcomed the announcement that Dyce railway station in his constituency is to receive part of £9.5 million in funding to make it more accessible.

The improvements will be confirmed following Network Rail feasibility studies on each of the five stations over the coming months, but could include aspects such as lifts, step-free access to platforms and more disabled parking

Mr Adam said:

"Today's announcement will be welcomed by local residents and travellers who current find Dyce station difficult to use.

"With more services now stopping at Dyce, I am pleased that we will get a share of this £10 million to make it more accessible.

"It will also encourage more people to use the train and leave their cars at home.

Mr Adam continued:

"I look forward to the conclusion of the feasibility study to find out what improvements we will receive in Dyce"
