The Inverness Courier believes that a direct rail link between the UK and Highland capitals is not just a matter of convenience. Reliable and fast transport links can make the difference between the success and failure of the Highland economy.
A decision is due to be made on the Highland Chieftain's future next month by transport secretary Philip Hammond. If you support our Save the Chieftain campaign, please sign below and we will ensure your views are heard in Westminster.

PLEASE KEEP THIS SERVICE. It is the only stress free way to get down to london without flying out of my budget.
Ridiculous move. The highlands already get ignored by Westminster enough as it is. Don't take away our connection!
Direct or bust. Not everyone wants to drag bags across edinburgh station. Keep the chieftain running.
I take this train for work twice a month. It works perfectly. Why break something that isn't broken? Leave it alone.
This is a lifeline for us up here. changing in edinburgh is a absolute nightmare especially with luggage and kids. keep the direct train.
