Visited the Winchburgh development recently — great to see real progress on the new station. A big step forward for both Winchburgh and Edinburgh in terms of connection and opportunity.

Morningside Road railway station, Edinburgh. The station closed in September 1962 when passenger rail services were withdrawn from the Edinburgh Suburban line. (1961)

Exciting proposal: A tram-train system for Edinburgh's South Suburban Railway!
What is the proposal?
A system that would use the existing South Suburban Railway to provide new services, connecting areas like Gorgie, Morningside, Niddrie, Cameron Toll, Fort Kinnaird & Portobello to the tram network

This here is Reston station!
The station cost the Scottish Government £20million.
Passenger usage stats show that from opening day in May 2022 through to March 2024 the station has only average 343 passengers per week!
Is this the worst investment made to Britain's railways in recent times?

They're filming something in a train at platform zero at Haymarket just now and it's causing quite a lot of interest among us passengers. If it's not a ScotRail advert, I'm pondering how much it must cost to take a 385 out of service for a day of filming. Can't be cheap

Interesting to note Phase 2 proposals includes upgrading to allow for dual-level platforms to accommodate both train & TramTrain services at selected stations.
The proposed stations are Gorgie, Morningside, Cameron Toll, Bingham/Niddire and Portobello. #Scotrail services could then use the Sub 🙌
