GIB dosen’t have a Level Crossing as such, just a Road that crosses the Runway.

Gibraltar does

See, my version would be cheaper, and the only station that’d miss out on a Direct link’d be South Gyle, which should have the Tramway, anyway. (At the Shopping Centre, at least)

Just so everyone’s clear on what we’re talking about, allow me to demonstrate in brief…

Atleast get it to match with the official plans. 😉

I say if they’re going to do it, then make a proper job of it, i.e the above link.
….. It’s so easy for me to say that, not having to pay taxes. 😉

Its good how they are putting airports on the mainline, or upgrading their rail services in general. Great news for EDI, and NCL, when it gets done.

They’re thinking about giving Newcastle Airport a national rail link as part of the masterplan in 2016. We don’t have First up here, just Stagecoach, (i think?).

LOL ok!

And that justifies an estimate of £500 Million?

If a Train link is that desperately needed, surely a Station at Turnhouse Village and a complimentary shuttle would be better suited?

The Point being, as it is, the East Coast Mainline goes right by the end of the Main Runway, so it seems a helluva lot to spend on moving the track a Mile West, to go under the Runway via the Terminal..

I found the bus to the city v reasonable for £5 open return, but to connect to the rest of Scotland, train connection will be needed!
