Public Meeting to Discuss Reopening of the Dumfries–Stranraer Railway Line

The meeting is being organised by the British Regional Transport Association and will bring together local residents, transport campaigners, and political representatives to explore the benefits and next steps towards restoring the rail connection between Dumfries and Stranraer.

Key speakers confirmed for the event include Laura Moodie of the Scottish Green Party.
Attendees include Linda Dorward, Scottish Labour, and Kirsty Dunsmore of Swestrans.

This initial meeting is intended as the first step in building a coordinated campaign to examine the feasibility of reopening the line and to establish how a formal proposal could be developed and advanced. Discussions will focus on identifying practical next steps and building support among communities along the route.
