Cumbernauld's take on an Abronhill Train Station Picture is copyright of Bill Henry and is used on his courtesy. |
Following on from the story’s break, we took to our Facebook and Twitter pages, asking our fans: ‘Does Abronhill need a station, will anything ever come of it or is the argument a dud?’
Sandra said: “I hope this goes through as it would be the best thing for Abronhill. At the moment we need to get a bus to Cumbernauld High and walk to the train station, or the bus is every hour so this would make life easy for all us in Abronhill.”
Paul Cochrane said: “If I lived in Abronhill, I'd rather they improved the bus service than built a train station. The train is too expensive, I don't know why anyone would take the train.”
Donald Scott added: “Cheap express bus services introduced in the late 90's together with upgrades to the road network have killed all hope of a station in the area. It would be poorly used and there are far better candidates for a station on the route.”
