Edinburgh-Glasgow high-speed rail plan '˜shelved'
THE SNP government's plans for high speed train link between Edinburgh and Glasgow have been shelved until the cross-Border HS2 route has been finalised, it emerged yesterday.
Transport minister Derek Mackay has admitted the high-profile project has been put on hold, despite the Scottish Government originally claiming that the link between Scotland’s two largest cities would be in place ten years before HS2.
In November 2012, Nicola Sturgeon said the Scottish Government would “not wait” for Westminster to deliver a cross-Border high-speed line.
