Isn't it unscheduled due to a rock fall?

According to STV News, Edinburgh will overtake Glasgow in terms of people by 2050. Already, we see huge housing developments in Musselburgh, Wallyford, Tranent, Haddington, and soon Longniddry, Gullane and Aberlady. Housing developments that will exceed by a factor of 15 the number of houses being built in Edinburgh.

Yet are there any plans to provide a transport infrastructure? No.

Crikey, they can't even provide enough train carriages to cope with existing demand - people in Wallyford & Musselburgh sometimes can't even get on a train!

I live on the East coast and used to work at The Gyle - got to the stage I changed my hours to 6am to 3pm so that I could avoid the traffic. Thank god I'm retired now and can travel off peak (i.e. overnight!)
