50 Years Ago……….
In 1974, after facing years of closure threats, the Kyle line was finally given a final repreive.
I thought it ought to be remembered.
Oddly, the supposed reason for the repreive was the increased freight traffic associated with the oil industry at Kishorn. This never proved as abundant as hoped but by the time this was realised, the social impact that the closure would cause had become sufficiently political that the line has not been seriously threatened with closure since.
