Following an increase in the frequency of the Oban to Glasgow rail service, Argyll and Bute Council decided to use the railway as a medium for a proportion of the school transport service that they provide. On every school day, over 11,000 pupils attend school in Argyll and Bute, almost 3,200 of them travel to and from school on transport organised by the Council. This project involved creating 1.8m wide advisory on-road footway.
