Businesses, MPs and MSPs and organisations from along the East Coast Main Line attended ECMA events at Westminster and Holyrood to show their support for investment in the line.
Interest in the events was strong and was matched by excellent attendance in both Edinburgh and London, with a good turn out of business representatives and politicians.
At the Scottish event in Holyrood, around 55 attendees, including 13 MSPs, took the opportunity to network and meet the Scottish Minister for Transport and the Islands, Humza Yousaf MSP.
At Westminster, 15 MPs were joined by 42 representatives from the rail industry, businesses and business-focused organisations, to discuss how a £3 billion investment in the line by 2032 would benefit the country.
The events gave business leaders an opportunity to talk to their MPs and MSPs on the importance of the line, and how investment can help them grow even further, and help strengthen the UK economy.
