There may well be a small rail market, but it's going to be mainly
leisure travellers. Someone in the oil business is not going to waste a
whole day travelling by train when they can do the same journey in not
much over an hour by plane. Ineed, day returns to Aberdeen are perfectly
feasible by air, with plenty of time for a meeting or two (I did it
often enough).


Given recent events I don't think oil company employees are really up there in
the top 10 of people whose examples we should follow.
