The news from Alex Sharkey of Network Rail is that the level crossing work mentioned in FNE 72 has been successfully commissioned - Balnacra on 15 November and Brora, Rovie and Lairg on 26 November.
Alex reminds us that the resulting lifting of the speeds that trains can pass these points is only part of the improvement story, the work helps with general speed management of the train approaching and leaving the sites, with heavy braking and acceleration no longer needed.
