The Highland Main Line Community Rail Partnership was launched at Pitlochry on November 9.

The HML CRP includes the route from Dunkeld and Birnam to Carrbridge.

Its priorities are: to make rail more accessible and attractive for the community; to encourage more commuters off the roads and onto rail; to improve access and links between stations and community centres/points of interest; to support the economic development of the region; to seek to improve accessibility for those with mobility and/or accessibility issues; and to act as an interface between the community, the Regional Transport Partnership HITRANS and Tactrans and the rail industry.
