For those of you from the dark side (ie gow) just to enlighten you,the reason the rail link will be put in place is because of the fact that the Royal Bank of Scotland will be putting a fair amount of money towards rerouting the rail track top go via their new headquarters which are under development at Gogarburn which is literally a few hundred yards from edi airport and it will be the Fife line which is rerouted to accomodate this.
As for the west should have the better airport because of population is a load of nonsense,Who has the most scheduled services between the 2 airports?take gow`s bucket and spaders out the question and I would guess that there would be an awfull drop off in gow`s pax figure!!
