Source: Scotsman Letters Kenny MacAskill makes a strong case for a rail connection to Edinburgh Airport and outlines a way of achieving this, avoiding the Winchburgh tunnel and the Newburgh viaduct. This would, in fact, require the construction of only a short link between the existing lines from the Forth Bridge, north of the airport, and a station at Turnhouse. Including an automated connection into the terminal building, the cost would be of the order of half the £505 million of the present, officially-projected scheme. This is highly relevant in view of calls on funds for other major rail developments, including Waverley and Haymarket stations in Edinburgh and the Borders line.
