The Jacobite Steam Train, which played a prominent role in the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film, is currently suspended amid an ongoing safety dispute.

A petition has been created against the suspension of the Jacobite Steam Train after it was pulled from service earlier this month.

Maria Wilson, who started the petition on behalf of local businesses, commented: "As a result of the service being suspended we now face the reality of a huge loss in tourism, a direct devastating effect on local businesses and an expected loss of £50m to the local economy." James Shuttleworth, commercial manager at WCR, stated: "We are disappointed to have to suspend this service and we are sorry for the inconvenience caused to our customers who have booked trips."
