Question
To ask the Scottish Executive what progress has been made since September 2010 on final design work for the reopening of Conon Bridge railway station.
Answer
The development of a station at Conon Bridge was identified as a local/regional priority by HITRANS in their Regional Transport Strategy. Progress on the detailed design work for the station is a matter for HITRANS and its transport partners.
The meeting held on 10 September 2010 with Stewart Stevenson focused on the funding arrangements, such as, design work and construction costs for the proposed station. We will shortly be determining the outcome of HITRANS'' request for a contribution towards the design costs for the project.
