The opening of a new railway station at Edinburgh airport should make the facility more accessible to the rest of Scotland.

The £41 million Edinburgh Gateway train-tram interchange station was opened earlier this month on the airport’s east side with two 265- metre 10-car platforms.

The new station offers direct services to both Edinburgh and Fife, and means travellers from as far away as Perth, Dundee and Inverness can access the airport directly.

Erik Geddes, communications manager, said: “It further widens the choice and means by which passengers from across Scotland can get to Edinburgh airport.

“At the moment we’re really well served from the city of Edinburgh but this links us up into Fife and further up into the north and east of Scotland.
