This country cannot do anything right anymore. Fucking clown show top to bottom
Let me guess who’s paying for the interminable repairs. Let me guess whether these repairs will be completed on time or on budget. Then let me guess whether prices will go up whenever it finally opens.
The entire project is a rancid thieving disgrace.
“the construction company who had been awarded the contract to build the funicular and whose owner, Fraser Morrison, was also chair of HIE. While HIE’s Chief Executive, Iain Robertson, also then resigned his job to join Morrison’s, Audit Scotland in their report on the funicular decided there had been no conflict of interest in the way HIE awarded the Morrisons contract.”
As long as HIE are involved, there will be more costs for the taxpayers, more delays, no actual service delivered, but occasionally there will be positive press releases just when the SNP need some help in the polls.

Can we please stop funding this waste? I’m all for funding snow sports but this funicular is valueless and the other ski centres need help
It’s about time this was knocked on the head and removed. A stupid vanity project that wasn’t fit for purpose when it was new, and it’s not fit for purpose now.
