LONDON North Eastern Railway (LNER) has doubled the number of services running to and from Leuchars to help golf fans attend the 150th Open Championship in St Andrews.
Fonded in 1860, the Open is one of the four major men’s golf tournaments, along with the Masters, the PGA Championship and US Open. Hosted by the Old Course, one of the oldest golf clubs in the world, this year’s Open is shaping up to be the largest in the championship’s history, with a record-breaking 290,000 spectators expected over the seven days it is held after a reported 1.3 million people applied for tickets.
