Winchburgh train station would take 1600 cars off roads

It sounds obscure, but the "Dalmeny chord" was a crucial stretch of rail which was never built. It would have linked the Edinburgh-Glasgow line to the Fife line and was a key part of the £1 billion Edinburgh-Glasgow rail improvement programme. It would have meant six trains an hour between the two cities, journey times cut to 35 minutes and trains calling at the new Edinburgh Gateway station (pictured) where passengers could switch to a tram to reach the airport.
But in 2012 the budget was slashed to £650m, the Dalmeny chord was dropped, frequency remained at four trains an hour, journeys at 40 minutes and passengers from Glasgow heading for Edinburgh airport still had to travel to Haymarket and out again.
