Description

Edinburgh’s Transport Convener is reigniting a decade-old dream: turning the old Powderhall railway line into a vibrant walking and cycling path, inspired by New York’s High Line. After years of stalled progress due to land ownership complexities — particularly a German cargo company’s long-term lease — the Convener has formally appealed to the Scottish Government for official backing and active involvement in negotiations. With a feasibility study estimating costs at £8.4 million, momentum is building as campaigners push for a community-focused active travel route that could finally become reality with political and public support on the rise.
