I have read in the Signalling Record that a temporary Inverness North workstation and associated SSI at Helmsdale was trialled for a short period at the back end of last year. Can anyone expand on this and the reason behind it please?

The Friends of the Far North Line have something on their website about this when they did a report into the poor performance on the North lines.

Many thanks David - this makes a lot of sense. Do you know when both workstations will come into use permanently as opposed to a trial and whether both will be separately manned at all times when the lines are open?
