Shawfair

Approaching Shawfair station from the north on 8 July 2018 is the 0931 Edinburgh - Tweedbank. Construction work continues in the background on the Edinburgh and Midlothian Recycling and Energy Recovery Centre on the west side of the former Millerhill marshalling yard. The facility is scheduled to come on stream in the spring of 2019. It will treat 135,000 tons of household waste, plus 20,000 tons of commercial waste annually and, in so doing, generate sufficient electricity to satisfy the energy demands of 32,000 households.
