'I just feel that the current users of the Roseburn Corridor are in danger of sounding a bit like those car users who object if you take a bit of road away/...' Think of it as severing the A9 to put rail services back on a section of it that was former railway...that's the impact this will have

Having at one stage in my life travelled a lot by train between Inverness and Edinburgh, I would have happily dug up the M90 to restore the direct Perth to Forth Bridge railway! 😉

I also think that doubling an electrifying the Highland Line ought to be a higher priority than dualling the A9 (and I was once an A9 regular, too!)

Me too, and the A96 dualling is as bonkers as the Queensferry Crossing, made nesscesary by political motive and removing v low tolls. The end result being the creation of the most expensive bus lane in the world.
