Leasachaidhean air na loidhnichean-rèile
[Iain MacIlleathain - Preseantair] Thèid sinn air adhart a-nis, agus Network Rail a’ dol a chosg còrr is còig-deug air fhichead billean not air loidhnichean na dùthcha ron bhliadhna dà mhìle ‘s a naoi-deug, tha iad ag ràdh. Tha iad an dòchas gun dèan seo cùisean nas fheàrr do luchd-siubhail, ach tha rabhadh ann cuideachd gun tèid faraidhean suas airson pàigheadh airson na pròiseactan a thoirt gu buil. Tha tuilleadh aig Iain MacAonghais.
[Iain MacAonghais – Neach-aithris] Na billeanan notaichean ga chosg gus beatha ùr a thoirt do loidhnichean-rèile na dùthcha. Tha plana-gnothachais Network Rail airson nam bliadhnaichean eadar dà mhìle ‘s a ceithir-deug agus dà mhìle ‘s a naoi-deug a’ gealltainn seirbheisean nas luaithe agus nas earbsaiche le barrachd seataichean do luchd-siubhail agus goireasan nas fheàrr do luchd-turais.
[Iain MacAonghais – Neach-aithris] Tha Network Rail a’ cumail a-mach gur iad na h-atharrachaidhean as motha a bhios air fhaicinn air loidhnichean-rèile Bhreatainn bho Linn Victoria. Am measg na tha san amharc, thèid ceud, trì fichead ‘s a deich mìle seat a bharrachd a thabhann do luchd-siubhail. Thèid còrr is sia ceud millean not a chosg air loidhnichean-rèile a dhìon bho thuiltean agus thèid mìle, mìle de loidhnichean-dealain a chur an-sàs air feadh na dùthcha. ‘S e cheist ged-tà, co às a thig an t-airgead?
[Iain MacAonghais – Neach-aithris] Tha iad air rabhadh a thoirt ged-tà gu feumar sàbhalaidhean a bhith air a dhèanamh agus faraidhean a chur an-àirde airson seo uile a thoirt gu buil agus tha iomagain a-nis am measg luchd-siubhail gur iadsan a bhios a’ pàigheadh airson an ùrachaidh a tha seo.
[Coinneach Combe] ‘S e sin an rud a tha a’ cur dragh ormsa mu na planaichean a tha seo. Tha iad an dùil gum bi an àireamh dhaoine a tha a’ cleachdadh nan trèanaichean fhathast a’ fàs anns na bliadhnaichean a tha romhainn, ged a tha iad an dùil na faraidhean a chur suas. Ach, tha sin air a bhith a’ dol fad bhliadhnaichean agus tha mi a’ smaoineachadh nach seas daoine ri sin agus gum bi iad a’ tòiseachadh le bhith a’ coimhead air dòighean-siubhail eile seach na trèanaichean ma chumas iad orra a’ fàs anabarrach daor.
[Iain MacAonghais – Neach-aithris] Thèid ceithir billean not a chosg ann an Alba, le leasachaidhean eadar Inbhir Nis agus Obar Dheathain agus air na loidhnichean anns na Crìochan. Ach thèid sùim mhòr a chosg air an loidhne eadar Glaschu agus Dùn Èideann, rud nach eil a h-uile duine riaraichte mu dheidhinn.
[Coinneach Combe] Tha mi smaointinn gu bheil feum air cosg airgead air cha mhòr a h-uile loidhne ann an Alba. Chan eil cho fada sin bhon a bha fada a bharrachd loidhnichean ann an Alba ‘s a tha againne san là an-diugh agus feumar cuideachd coimhead ri loidhnichean ionadail, loidhnichean eadar Glaschu is Dùn Èideann agus cuideachd na loidhnichean a tha a’ ceangal Alba agus Sasainn ach tha feum air leasachadh air a h-uile càil a th’ ann, nam bheachdsa.
[Iain MacAonghais – Neach-aithris] Tha buidhnean luchd-siubhail air fàilte a chur air amasan Network Rail airson ùrachadh a dhèanamh air na loidhnichean, ach ‘s e cheist ma tha cosgais na h-obrach a’ dol a thuiteam air a luchd-siubhail a-mhàin, am bi iad cho riaraichte an uair sin.

Developments on the railway
[Iain MacLean - Presenter] We’ll move on now and Network Rail are going to spend more than thirty five billion pounds on the country’s lines before 2019, they say. They hope that this will improve things for travellers, but there is a warning as well that fares will go up to pay for the projects to reach their targets. Iain MacInnes has more.
[Iain MacInnes – Reporter] Millions of pounds are to be spent to bring new life to the country’s rail lines. Network Rail’s business plan, for the years between 2014 and 2019, promises services will be faster and more reliable with more seats for travellers and better facilities for tourists.
[Iain MacInnes – Reporter] Network Rail maintain that these will be the biggest changes on Britain’s railway lines since the Victorian age. Amongst what is planned, 170,000 extra seats will be offered to travellers. More than six hundred million pounds will be spent on protecting railway lines from floods and thousands of electricity lines will be laid all over the country. The question is, though, where will the money come from?
[Iain MacInnes – Reporter] They have issued a warning that savings will be made and fares will increased to reach these targets and there is a concern now amongst travellers that they will be the ones paying for this modernisation.
[Coinneach Combe] That’s the thing that is worrying me about these plans. They expect that the number of people that use these trains will continue to rise in the years to come, although they expect to increase the fares. But, that has been happening for years and I don’t think people will stand for that and they’ll start to look at other modes of transport instead of the trains, if they continue to get so expensive.
[Iain MacInnes – Reporter] Four billion pounds will be spent in Scotland between Inverness and Aberdeen and on the lines in the Borders. But, a large sum will be spent on the line between Glasgow and Edinburgh, something that does not please everyone.
[Coinneach Combe] I think they need to spend money on almost every line in Scotland. It is not so long ago that we had many more lines in Scotland than we have now and we also need to look at local lines, lines between Glasgow and Edinburgh and also the lines that link Scotland and England, but we need development on everything there is, in my opinion.
[Iain MacInnes – Reporter] Travelling groups have welcomed the aims of Netwrok Rail for redevelopment of the lines, but the question is if the cost of the work is going to fall on travellers, will they be so satisfied then? Iain MacInnes. BBC An Là, at Inverness Railway Station.
