The latest public meeting held on January 31st 2012 at Albert Halls with Network Rail was attended by 400 residents. A vast sea of hands indicated overwhelming support against the proposal for a train wash and stabling facility adjacent to Pike Road. MSP’s and local councillors also informed Network Rail that they must go and consider another venue that is not close to homes.
The public meeting held on November 9th 7-9pm in the Mayfield Centre about the train stabling depot proposal was attended by around 150 residents. Many expressed their concern about the proposals. Network Rail staff encouraged residents to put into writing those concerns and ideas in either email or in a letter to them. We suggest that including the MSP’s, MP and councillors is also important. (details in this website). The process of objection needs to continue and residents should not become despondent and give up their dialogue. Members of this community council are looking for people to join them, who have ideas and energy, who can help us all pursue the aim of NOT HAVING THE PROPOSED TRAIN FACILITY HERE AT PIKE ROAD.

Jan 25th. 2011. Public Petition Committee. Please click into Holyrood to see what went on; Coal Trains.
http://www.holyrood.tv/library.asp?iPid=3§ion=43&title=Public+Petitions
I was the instigator of the above Petition. I am still campaigning for those coal trains to be stopped during the night, and also for protective sound barriers to be installed the length of the SAK line. Please email me if you wish your name to be added to my contact list as I send out a report after each Petitions Committee meeting. The latest meeting has asked NR, TS, DBS, and SP some further questions and I will be asked to comment on them prior to the next meeting. Your views will be useful regarding the wash facility so please get in touch.
