A SCENIC Scottish railway line has reopened after nine days of works.

The West Highland Line, connecting Glasgow to Oban and Fort William, closed on March 16 for an upgrade of the historic Rannoch Viaduct.During the works, Network Rail contractors replaced 50 life-expired softwood timber sleepers that support the tracks over the 208 metre bridge.

Away from the viaduct, engineers modernised the signalling system on the approach to Fort William station, about 35 miles up the line.Zoe Monkhouse, Network Rail’s project manager for the project, said: “Our team has worked around-the-clock to deliver this project safely and efficiently and to get the line re-opened for passengers as planned.

Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
