South Sub rail views sought [Evening News]





Date: 13/11/2007

The country's top transport bodies have been given four weeks to submit their views on plans for the reopening of Edinburgh's South Side Suburban rail line. Last week the Scottish Parliament's petitions committee agreed to seek responses from a number of groups, including Network Rail, Transport Scotland, Lothian Buses and Scotrail. The Capital Rail Action Group and E-Rail are petitioning the parliament to back the reintroduction of passenger services on the line, which closed in 1962.

There is now a bus service, the X15, going to ^Waverley^ from the nearest bus stop called Morningside Station (Monday to Friday only). Finally there is a bus which gets one close to the main railway station 57 years after the trains stopped running...
