#Latest news with #CairngormFunicularTimes23-05-2025TimesCairngorm funicular to shut for maintenance months after relaunchThe UK's highest railway is to be shut for repairs just a few months after being reopened. The troubled Cairngorm funicular has lain dormant for much of the past seven years after structural problems were uncovered in 2018. The initial closure ran from October 2018 until January 2023 and involved a £25 million programme of improvements. But it was again brought to a standstill in August 2023 after snagging issues and only started running again at the end of February this year. Now it will be shut from May 12 as part of an annual maintenance programme and is expected to begin operating again on June 2. Engineers from Cairngorm Mountain (Scotland), the state-owned operator, will carry out gearbox repairs, rail grinding and undercarriage
