New Broughty Ferry land train

A land train has been added to Broughty Ferry’s many attractions.  Localmotion land trains launched its service yesterday. The train operates at weekends with some weekdays through the school holidays.

The three carriages, 60 seat land train takes passengers on a circular route from the Phibbies pier along The Esplanade to The Barnhill Rock Garden, with stops at Windmill Garden and The Glass Pavilion. The train leaves the pier at 10 am and approximately every 45 minutes until 5pm. A ticket allows passengers a full circuit of the route and costs £3 for an adult and £2 for a child (children under two go free).

I often wondered why Broughty Ferry didn’t have a land train as most visitor destinations seem to have them, linking places of local interest.
