Train At Doorstep
Few people can boast that a train stops daily at their doorstep to make a special, delivery, but till recently this was the case with Mr and Mrs McDonald, who live at the level crossing gates near Banff, on the Moray Firth. More curious still was the fact that the commodity delivered was water. has no water supply, so every day the train used to draw up at the level crossing for the guard to hand down a large can of water and receive the “empty” in exchange. In future, however, the water is to be delivered by motor lorry..
