Network Rail are carrying out vital engineering work near Haymarket between Friday 27 and Sunday 29 December. This means services on several routes to and from Edinburgh will start and terminate before reaching the two stations.
We envisage that there will also be high demand for accessible taxis during this time such that if you require one, you may be forced to wait longer than expected.
We therefore advise that if you’re planning to travel to the Edinburgh on these dates, please consider making alternative arrangements, particularly on Saturday, 28 December.
