The £500 million scheme will allow passengers and airport users to travel on trains to and from Scottish capital city, as well as destinations to the north, west and the south including Glasgow and Aberdeen. The proposals for the link include the construction of a railway station at Edinburgh Airport's main terminal, with trains arriving and departing via a tunnel. The parliamentary Bill for the railway will go through a similar process to Edinburgh's proposed tram network, and residents will shortly be invited to submit objections, reports the Evening News. A committee will discuss all the details of the scheme, before a final vote and the granting of Royal Assent — if approved by MSPs — early next year. http://www.railnews.co.uk/news.aspx?id=2553 Back to top GKirk Guest Posted: Sun Feb 26, 2006 11:45 pm    Post subject: Re: EDINBURGH AIRPORT RAIL LINK PLANS GO TO SOCTTISH PARLIAM Joe Curry wrote: Quote: Source: www.railnews.co.uk 26 Feb 2006 THE Bill for Edinburgh Airport's rail link has been submitted to Scottish Parliamentary officials, reports the Edinburgh Evening News.

Truly, the future will be a wondrous place for the rail traveling Scot. And for the taxpayer..why foot the bill for a bullet train when it only knocks 10 minutes or so off the journey? Just think, a new route carved through central Scotland at the cost of Billions, not to mention the upheaval.. EARL will shave minutes of the existing times and therefore is the better bargain. I say minutes, in the case of Glasgow to EDI it will shave about 45 minutes of the existing train/bus times alone. Quote: Now 100% Guaranteed Joe Curry free Still using this infantile sig?
