    THE Bill for Edinburgh Airport's rail link has been submitted to Scottish Parliamentary officials, reports the Edinburgh Evening News.

    The £500 million scheme will allow passengers and airport users to travel on trains to and from Scottish capital city, as well as destinations to the north, west and the south including Glasgow and Aberdeen.

    The proposals for the link include the construction of a railway station at Edinburgh Airport's main terminal, with trains arriving and departing via a tunnel.

    The parliamentary Bill for the railway will go through a similar process to Edinburgh's proposed tram network, and residents will shortly be invited to submit objections, reports the Evening News.

    A committee will discuss all the details of the scheme, before a final vote and the granting of Royal Assent — if approved by MSPs — early next year.
