Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance Transport Scotland Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance 5.3 Edinburgh 5.3.1 Setting the Context Edinburgh is Scotland’s capital city and plays a vital role in contributing to the economic well-being of the country. The city has a population of approximately 436,000190, and the SEStran area191, which largely correlates with the functioning of the Edinburgh labour market, has a population of approximately 1.5 million192. The city’s economy, which has been growing steadily in recent years, is dominated by the service sector with a strongly performing financial services sector and a significant number of public service employees. This growth has resulted in rising land and property prices and demand for further development in and around the city. Average house prices more than doubled between 1998 and 2006193. One of the consequences of this is the increase in the number of those working in Edinburgh but residing outside the city, increasing the levels of demand on radial routes into the city. Putting this into context, Edinburgh accounts for 45 per cent of the total employment in the SEStran area but only 30 per cent of the population. Figure 5.3.1 highlights the areas of particular relevance within Edinburgh. This shows the three key areas of economic activity within the city and the principal components of the transport network that support the city region. 190 General Register Office for Scotland Mid-2004 population estimates for town/city populations: http://www.gro- scotland.gov.uk/files1/stats/04mid-year-estimates-localities-table3.xls 191 SEStran includes City of Edinburgh Council, Clackmannanshire, East Lothian, Falkirk Council, Fife, Midlothian, Scottish Borders and West Lothian 192 General Register Office for Scotland Mid-2006 population estimates for administrative areas: http://www.gro- scotland.gov.uk/files1/stats/06mype-cahb-t2-revised.xls 193 Edinburgh City Council Capital Review www.capitalreview.co.uk 184 Transport Scotland Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance 185 Transport Scotland Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance Table 5.3.1 below summarises some relevant socio-economic characteristics for Edinburgh and provides a comparison against the regional and national context.

As the corridors serving Edinburgh are forecast to experience an increase in population in future years, there is expected to be a rising trend in commuting from the wider area to jobs located in Edinburgh. Inactivity rates are projected to decline in Edinburgh from 59,900 in 2005 to 50,700 in 2022196. Median gross weekly earnings in Edinburgh are £462, approximately 12 per cent higher than the national average for Scotland (£412)200. 194 General Register Office for Scotland Mid-2004 population estimates for town/city populations: http://www.gro- scotland.gov.uk/files1/stats/04mid-year-estimates-localities-table3.xls 195 General Register Office for Scotland Mid-2006 population estimates for administrative areas: http://www.gro- scotland.gov.uk/files1/stats/06mype-cahb-t2-revised.xls 196 TELMoS 197 Scottish Economic Statistics 2007 198 STS No.25 (2006) 199 Scotland’s Census 2001 www.scrol.gov.uk Table KS17 200 Scottish Economic Statistics 2006, table 4.20 186 Transport Scotland Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance 187 Transport Scotland Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance 5.3.2 Land Use Patterns Within Edinburgh, three areas of economic activity of national significance have been identified as being particularly relevant in terms of the STPR: • City centre (historic business and retail centre); • West Edinburgh (expanding business centre and established retail centre); and • South East Edinburgh (projected significant growth in business with nationally significant employers). Another key economic generator in Edinburgh is the international airport. The airport, located north of the A8, is one of the fastest growing airports in the UK having experienced an increase in passengers of approximately 160 per cent between 1995 and 2005. The changing land use patterns, particularly the projected growth in employment on the periphery of the city, will mean new challenges for the city’s transport network. The historical focus towards providing high quality public transport services to the city centre from the surrounding areas, whilst still important, will need to be augmented with improvements to peripheral economic locations, including the airport. These patterns have been in evidence in recent years with the increase in the level of orbital movements in Edinburgh to these areas of economic activity. This is forecast to continue in the years to come. This issue has been recognised in the SEStran Regional Transport Strategy201. 5.3.3 Transport Network and Operations Infrastructure and Services A number of radial routes serve Edinburgh, as shown in Figure 5.3.1. The A720, Edinburgh City Bypass Trunk Road, which stretches from Gogar in the west to Old Craighall in the east, provides the link between these routes. At the western end, the City Bypass connects with the A8 (non-trunk) at Gogar and the M8 Motorway at Hermiston. The A720 is a dual carriageway road with grade separated junctions, except at Gogar and Sheriffhall. The radial routes are a combination of single and dual carriageway. To the north west of the city, the A90 carries traffic between the Forth Road Bridge and Edinburgh. This route is not directly connected to the A720, although there are indirect links via either the recently opened M9 Spur or the A902 (non-trunk) from Barnton to Gogar. 201 SEStran Regional Transport Strategy www.SEStran.gov.uk 188 Transport Scotland Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance Edinburgh Waverley railway station is the second busiest in Scotland and is located in the heart of the city, with Haymarket Station at the western edge of the city centre providing access to the rail network throughout Scotland and beyond. To the east of Waverley is the East Coast Main Line, which provides a link to London and northeast England. There are also branch lines off the East Coast Main Line which serve North Berwick and Newcraighall. To the west, three lines converge at Haymarket: the East Coast Main Line to the Forth Bridge, serving Fife, Perth, Dundee and Aberdeen; the Edinburgh - Glasgow line to the west serving Glasgow Queen Street, Stirling and Bathgate and intermediate stations; and another connection to the west serving Glasgow Central, Motherwell, Shotts and northwest England. Service patterns vary throughout the day and week but are generally: • Four services per hour between Edinburgh and Glasgow via Falkirk; • One service per hour between Edinburgh and Perth; • One service per hour between Edinburgh and Dundee; • One service per hour between Edinburgh and Glasgow via Shotts; • Two services per hour between Edinburgh and Bathgate; • One service per hour between Edinburgh and North Berwick; • Two services per hour between Edinburgh and Stirling / Dunblane; • One service per hour between Edinburgh and London (National Express East Coast); • One or two services per hour to other English destinations (Arriva Cross-Country); and • One overnight sleeper service to London. The main railway stations within the City of Edinburgh Council area currently cater for some 17.1 million passengers per annum (2005). In addition, 15.8 million passengers per annum (2005) pass through stations within Edinburgh city centre202. Edinburgh has an extensive network of bus services to and from the city centre. The main urban operator in the Edinburgh area is Lothian Buses which is a publicly owned company with over 700 buses and 50 routes. First Edinburgh operates a network of services to and from some of the towns in the Lothians and the Scottish Borders. Stagecoach also operates services into Fife. There are also a range of medium sized and smaller companies operating services. St Andrew Square Bus Station is the hub for an extensive network of long distance bus services. Citylink and Megabus run services to much of Scotland. Citylink also operate a high frequency service between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Megabus and National Express provide services from Edinburgh to the rest of the UK. 202 Rail industry LENNON data (Station Usage 2004/2005) 189 Transport Scotland Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance Service patterns are generally: • Four buses per hour between Edinburgh and Glasgow (Citylink); • One bus per hour between Edinburgh and Galashiels (First); • Three buses per hour between Edinburgh and Stirling (Citylink/First); • Three buses per hour between Edinburgh and Dundee (Citylink / Stagecoach); • One bus per hour between Edinburgh and St Andrews (Stagecoach); • Two buses per hour between Edinburgh and Dunfermline (Stagecoach); and • One bus per hour between Edinburgh and Aberdeen (Citylink). Integrated tickets in Edinburgh are available in the form of the PLUSBUS ticket and ‘One- Ticket’. PLUSBUS covers rail journeys into Edinburgh and provides the addition of unlimited bus travel within the urban network.

My full name is Robert Alexander Drysdale. I am aged 61, my date of birth being . My contact details are known to the Inquiry. I am a retired Chartered Town Planning Consultant. Statement: 1. I am a recently retired planning consultant with 37 years' experience in this role. I worked within the planning department of Midlothian Council from 1979 until 1986. Between 1986 and 2016 I worked within the private sector as a planning consultant, initially for large property consultancy firms and then from 1996 in my own practice. During this time I provided advice to companies involved in major developments including Edinburgh Business Park. An important part of these projects was to advise on strategic objectives such as transport links to the sites. In respect of Edinburgh Business Park I recommended, as part of the designing of the business park in the early 1990s, that provision be made for possible future rapid transit access to the development, by way of a reserved north~south route through the business park. It is this route which is now used by the Edinburgh Tram. 2. I have a keen interest in transport infrastructure both on a personal and professional level. I am currently a committee member for the Campaign for Page 1 of7 TRI00000076 0001 Borders Rail and I have also served on the Transport Committee of the Cockburn Association. 3.

  • Appendix J Haddington Branch Line Survey
    Appendix J Haddington Branch Line Survey AllanRail East Lothian Access STAG Physical feasibility of re-opening the Haddington Rail Branch Line Background The reopening of the Haddington Railway branch line from the East Coast Main Line (ECML) at Longniddry to Haddington is one of the options that are required to be considered in the East Lothian Access STAG. This initial report informs the appraisal work of the feasibility of re-opening the railway, some of the issues and problems that would need to be resolved, choices that are available and suggests an order of magnitude cost. Because the rest of the railway is electrified it is assumed that the Haddington branch will also be equipped with standard 25Kv overhead electrification equipment. The report is based on a physical site walk-over on 21 February 2019, carried out by David Prescott of AllanRail who has considerable experience in the initial development of re-opened railways in Scotland including walk-overs on the Stirling – Alloa – Kincardine, Airdrie- Bathgate and Borders Railway routes in the inception and pre-construction stages. This is not an engineering assessment, but an initial view based on observation and experience. The route is considered in the Longniddry to Haddington direction and the report is broken down into key route sections. Connecting to the ECML The ideal connection to the main line has several desirable operating and engineering requirements: · It should be on the Edinburgh side of Longniddry to minimise the occupation of the ECML; · It should provide as

  • Building Better Transport
    Building Better Transport CEC02083844_0001 Building Better Transport Ministerial Foreword When I was appointed Tr ansport Minister last spring, Scotland's Transport: Delivering Improvements was not long published. That document identified key priorities for transport that have underpinned our work over the last year. It also promised that we would issue a report on progress. We have taken huge steps forward since then. The key to progress was our decision last year to allocate unprecedented sums to transport over the next three years. Spending on transport will rise by over 50% over three years, with almost £1 billion per annum being spent by 2006. Spending on public transport - which is now top of our priorities - will rise by over 70% in three years. That decision made an enormous impact. There is now money to fund major new infrastructure projects. The sense of momentum is building. People are beginning to believe. Transport improvements that once seemed a pipe dream stand a genuine chance of becoming reality. The new communications links that businesses have been crying out for are just around the corner, and the economy will thrive on them. Resources are not unlimited, but we can be certain that the transformation of Scotland's transport infrastructure will be well under way by the end of the decade. We have been criticised in the past for not committing the funds needed to enable major projects to proceed. That has now changed. All schemes will still have to continue to demonstrate value for money and stand up to rigorous economic and environmental scrutiny. But the security of a £1 billion per annum budget has enabled us over the year to make firm funding commitments, including the MS and M80 motorway upgrades in west central Scotland; the reinstatement of the Airdrie-Bathgate railway line; a new bypass, the Western Peripheral Route, for Aberdeen; and has allowed us to make further progress with rail links to Glasgow and Edinburgh airports.
