    Haymarket to Dalmeny electrification

    There’s new masts erected all the way along the line at the end of Edinburgh Airports’ runway.

    Does anyone know if they’re closing the line over the festive period to crack on with this project? I could google and find out myself but where’s the fun in that!?

    The view from Lennymuir Road looking towards Edinburgh Gateway. They’ve quietly crept up towards the Airport.

    Really? As in, all the way up to Ladybank? They’ve certainly kept that quiet!

    Haymarket to Dalmeny electrification

    Area 51, the whereabouts of UK Submarine’s, the meaning of life, who really killed Tupac… Just a few subjects that are easier to work out than this little stretch of railway that might or might not be getting worked on!

    Haymarket to Dalmeny electrification

    The main question is when is the Haymarket to Dalmeny work going to start up again? There must be some Network Rail/SPL Powerlines workers in this thread…

    Haymarket to Dalmeny electrification

    It’s remarkable that nobody really knows the true details of the project now. I.e. Dundee/Perth. Those were never in the original plans. You can search online about and still be none the wiser. They’ve built a new compound at Turnhouse but nobody knows when the work will start either… what’s...

    Haymarket to Dalmeny electrification

    Drove past this site on the way home from work. This is Lennymuir Road just down from the bridge that runs over the Edinburgh to Dalmeny line. Does anyone know if this has anything to do with the electrification project?

    You seem obsessed with Westminster? I’m so glad we aren’t run by the SNP… they’re the main reason this simple project is all but over. Anyway, it won’t be long until they are a thing of the past and us Scots go back to voting Labour!!

    Haymarket to Dalmeny electrification

    Honestly, what a disaster this whole electrification project has turned out to be. I thought they already had the money to be able to carry out the work. After all, they’ve piled a whole load of still cylinders for the masts. And let’s be honest, it’s not exactly a difficult route with many...

    Haymarket to Dalmeny electrification

    Does anybody know if they’ll close the line during the festive period for works, like they said they’d do last year?
