§ Lord Lairdasked Her Majesty's Government:
Further to the Written Answer by the Lord President on 24 February (WA 41), why the line from Coleraine to Londonderry is not promoted as a tourist attraction; and whether any studies have been carried out on this issue. [HL1573]
§ Baroness AmosThe railway line between Coleraine and Londonderry is a picturesque link between Londonderry and the Causeway Coast, two of Northern Ireland's most important tourist attractions. Although it is recognised as a scenic route no studies have been carried out and no current evidence exists which would indicate major benefits from promoting it specifically as a tourist attraction.
