Pictured at Laurencekirk: the Group and Officials	Laurencekirk Station Visit Recently, the Consortium Chairman - Dave McDonald - was asked to join a multi agency group looking at Rail Access at Aberdeen Station and within Grampian. A Visit to the recently re opened and refurbished Laurencekirk Station took place only for the Group to find there were no Toilets.....! Dave also suggested that there should be a Designated Disabled Drop Off Point just outside the Ticket Office in the Concourse. He also stated that a seat beside the dropped counter in the Ticket Office would be an asset. If you have any other suggestions, please let Dave know.
