rather emotive?the breeder material
I wonder if they will do any work to improve the railhead at Thurso?
The station is pretty much in the town centre and I would have thought that it might be desirable to establish a separate loading facility just out of town.
What's Alex Salmon's stance on Nucular power, by the way? Does he just take the kneejerk "No Nukes here!" populist attutude, or might he actually have given the matter some thought?
Wouldn't Dounray have been rail served when operational anyway ?
No, everything came in by road eventually. Some materials would have come by sea to Scrabster or Invergordon. The runway on site was still functional into the 90's when the site stopped producing electricity, however this would have more likley brought people and small goods to site. The roads in the area were improved to allow access for heavy and oversized loads to Dounreay from the South.
Thanks for the info. I'm guessing that must have been quite a rare arrangement for the UK.
