We need investment in Dumfries and Galloway and strive to make it a top quality destination! Let's be aspirational!

This link is key to diminishing the isolation of Dumfries, and will kick-start its regeneration.

Should have happened yrs ago. Would be great for day trips! Less cars on roads=better for environment No city parking charges =better for my pocket and cuts out stress of finding parking space

This would help so many people in our community and ease a sense of rural isolation

I support this petition wholeheartedly, since better rail links will reduce pollution (fewer cars), open up opportunities for employment and increase access to cultural and sporting events. If the Scottish government really believes in improving the environment and creating jobs, here is an opportunity to do just that!

Only 14 miles of new track needed to give Dumfries and Galloway it's rail link back. Please restore it for us.

A rail link to Scotland's major cities would transform social and economic life in D&G.

A rail link would fight the marginalisation of D & G as government services are being concentrated in the central belt and increase tourism.
