Winchburgh Developments say the rail link is vital
Building a railway station at one of West Lothian’s fastest growing towns could take almost half a million cars off the roads.
This is according to John Hamilton, chief executive of Winchburgh Developments Ltd, who has unveiled an independent impact report published by Systra into the viability and benefits of a station in Winchburgh on the main Edinburgh-Glasgow railway line. The station would also support direct benefits to passengers of £2.4m a year, and generate at least £3.5m of decongestion benefits annually.
“This report shows that a new railway station with ample provision for car-parking would relieve congestion on the M8, M9, and M90 as well as in and around Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling and Falkirk.
