FoFNL member, Friends of Brora Station's Andrew Bridges, suggested to me at the end of 2016 that we should really have a Facebook page. He also kindly offered to help set it up. We finally got the page up and running in May and Andrew agreed to be an additional administrator. This is something I've been very grateful for as he has done a lot to spread the word, getting likes and followers.
We have been very pleased with our 'page reach' - the number of people who had one of our posts reach their screen - which totalled nearly 10,000 at the end of March.
If you haven't visited the page yet please do. Along with posts about all sorts of things relevant to the Far North Line we have a weekly post displaying the latest graph of train punctuality compiled by our Secretary, Malcolm Wood. The figures he assembles are incredibly useful to FoFNL when discussing things with ScotRail and Network Rail. We are hoping the page will develop into a place where users of the line post their experiences and thoughts.
