Edinburgh Haymarket station crane lift delayed [BBC News]





Date: 14/12/2012

Work to lift part of a new 110-tonne superstructure onto Haymarket station in Edinburgh has been delayed. The move, due for overnight on Saturday, has been postponed because of a mechanical problem with the 1,000 tonne crane needed for the lift. Network Rail said it was disappointing but it expected the work could go ahead later in the week.
