		A broken rail was found to be the "substantial" cause of the accident.
		But the £750m price tag was considered too high by British Rail and the government, immediately prior to privatisation in 1993, and implementation of the safety system was ruled out.

		SIX MONTHS after planning permission was refused by the city council for development of eight-storey blocks of 201 flats on the vacant Homebase site on Riverside Drive, the new owners of the site have lodged a new application for a £25-£30 million development of six nine-storey blocks of 202, one, two and three-bedroom apartments.
		Included in the plans are one and two-floor penthouses with large garden terraces featuring panoramic views of the city, down to Broughty Ferry, across to Fife and up to Invergowrie Bay, with prices ranging from £90,000 for a one-bedroom flat to around £200,000 for a three- bedroom, two-storey flat.

		Key projects are heavy rail and possibly LRT links to Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and improving bus connections from Dyce Station and Aberdeen city centre.
		Based on experience from elsewhere, providing that the capital costs of a rail link are not excessive and that the destinations served, level of frequency, price and service quality all encourage passengers to use the rail link, the prospects for significant patronage look propitious.
		Glasgow airport does not have a rail link, the main public transport is provided by buses from the city centre and coaches feeding charter flights.
