Chronology Dates
| / /2003 | Edinburgh Airport Rail Link Proposed railway tunnel under Edinburgh Airport is in doubt due to mine workings. (Probably Ingliston Shale Pit No 33.) |
| /03/2004 | Edinburgh Airport Rail Link Proposed scheme would have a station under Edinburgh Airport served by a link off the Forth Bridge Connecting Lines (North British Railway) and the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway and the Forth Bridge lines. The layout would be southern approaches (both approached from the east) from South Gyle and Gogar combining and passing under Edinburgh Airport before dividing with a western link to Humbie Signal Box and northern link to Dalmeny South Junction. This layout would allow trains from Edinburgh Waverley and Glasgow Queen Street High Level to serve the station and the line to the north from Edinburgh to Fife, Aberdeen and Inverness over the Forth Bridge. The estimated cost was £500M. |
| 26/11/2005 | Borders Railway (Network Rail)
Edinburgh and Hawick Railway (North British Railway) Confirmation that the Borders Railway will provide a direct service from the Borders across Edinburgh to Edinburgh Airport. |
