Drew Hendry MP commented in the Inverness Courier on 18th August 2015 about the benefits of using the Far North Line service to Muir of Ord for the Black Isle Show: "I was particularly impressed to see that a shuttle bus had been laid on for those wishing to get the train there. It took people from the station to the show and back again. Having sat in the heavy traffic with other patient visitors, I would definitely recommend 'letting the train take the strain' next year."
