The Jacobite train service has been suspended with immediate effect as it awaits a verdict on whether it can continue to operate in its current state.
WCR submitted an application to renew the exemption, and made a request for a temporary exemption to operate while the Office of Rail and Road makes its decision. The rail service takes tourists from Fort William to Mallaig, including over the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct seen in Harry Potter films like in the Chamber of Secrets.
He added: "If the ORR does not grant us a further exemption, we believe this could lead to up to £50 million in lost value to both local and national communities. "West Coast Railway's application for an exemption failed and they made a claim for judicial review. A temporary exemption was granted in order to maintain the status quo, enabling WCR to operate whilst the litigation reached a conclusion.
