Hi folks, a wee while back there was a thread that was talking about the Threat to the Highland Cheiftain, as you all probably know, it is an HST which runs daily between London Kings Cross and Inverness at 1200 and runs opp direction at 0755. With talk of new High Speed Trains being built, there is an axe hanging over the head of the Highland Cheiftain.
One of the local newspapers up here has set up a petition online, and it is gaining huge support.

I don't like the thought of this forum being used for petition advertising. But i'm sure this is an issue that is close to everyones hearts, and I bet more than 50% have been on the Cheiftain before, and another 30% will travel on it at some point in your lives. So please sign it!!
The Cheiftain's for life not just for specials!!

P.S - Oh aye! Petition closes on Tuesday ahead of the Governments Comprehensive spending review which is due on 20th of October
