I was in Dunkeld, yesterday. The 'steak pie supper' that I was served, at the local chippy, should be punishable by Dunkeld having neither a roundabout, nor a GSJ. Just cut the place off, completely, and see how long the locals support businesses that are just out to grab the visitor's money.Euan wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2019 23:24I'm sure it was noted upthread, but I think the Perth - Inverness A9 corridor was intentionally left without any typical service areas during the original upgrade of the road so that it would not take business away from the towns and villages that were being bypassed.Norfolktolancashire wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2019 19:19Maybe a bit of publicity in the possible development of service area/fast food restaurants would sway the locals to a GSJ instead?Euan wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2019 21:18 I do hope that we end up with a sensible alternative to the proposed at-grade roundabout at Dunkeld. Relocating the railway station seems like a good idea - and the move would not be as potentially disruptive as it would if it were another busier station such as Pitlochry or Aviemore which are called at by virtually every train service rather than only some services.
If anything I think that a grade separated junction at Dunkeld might encourage more people to go into Dunkeld than there would be if there was an at-grade roundabout as it would be much easier to access the village without there being too much congestion at the junction.
Sorry. It was that, or cry-havoc, on TripAdvisor.
