===Edinburgh=== [[File:Bb-forthrailbridge.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Forth Bridge]] in 2004]] {{See also|Transport in Edinburgh}} [[Edinburgh]]’s [[Commuter rail in the United Kingdom|suburban network]] is less dense than Glasgow’s. Edinburgh’s main station is [[Edinburgh Waverley railway station|Waverley]]. The main railway line through the city centre runs in a cutting immediately below [[Edinburgh Castle]]. A secondary station is at {{Stnlnk|Haymarket}} in the west of the city. Railway lines running north from Edinburgh to [[Fife]] and the [[Highland (council area)|Highlands]] cross the [[Firth of Forth]] via the [[Forth Bridge]]. Lines in and around Edinburgh were: *[[Edinburgh–Bathgate line]] (incorporated into the [[North Clyde Line]]<ref name="airdriebathgate"/>) *[[Edinburgh Crossrail]] *[[Edinburgh–Dunblane line]] *[[North Berwick Line]] *[[Shotts Line]] *[[Edinburgh–Dundee line]] The Edinburgh rail network is being expanded with the construction of the Waverley Line to the Borders, and the Edinburgh–Bathgate Line has been extended by the [[Airdrie–Bathgate rail link]]. A project to open a [[Edinburgh Airport railway station|rail link to Edinburgh Airport]] was cancelled in September 2007 by the Scottish Government in favour of construction of a station at nearby [[Gogar]] which will connect with the [[Edinburgh tram network]] to take passengers to the terminal.<ref name=edinAirport>{{cite news |title = It's £30m down the drain |publisher = Johnston Publishing |work = The Scotsman |url = http://news.scotsman.com/topics.cfm?tid=607&id=1546642007 |access-date = 7 September 2013 |location = Edinburgh |date = 27 September 2007 |archive-date = 5 June 2011 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110605052125/http://news.scotsman.com/topics.cfm?tid=607 |url-status = live }}</ref> A proposal to re-open the [[Edinburgh Suburban and Southside Junction Railway|Edinburgh suburban railway line]] has been made by campaigning groups.<ref name="CRAG">{{cite web |url = http://www.reopenthesouthsub.org.uk/ |title = Capital Rail Action Group |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140516205531/http://www.reopenthesouthsub.org.uk/ |archive-date = 16 May 2014 }}</ref>
