Proposed - South East Edinburgh Transport Economic Potential StudyUsing Lean Build low cost sustainable methods outlined in our Public Inquiry, including not moving the services but stopping the trams and giving access to the utilities, the cost of this line will be significantly less than that of Line 1, therefore Line 1 should not be used as a template for further expansion of the Edinburgh Network.

Introducing a high quality, fixed link transport service to the area, along with other transport interventions could be a catalyst to unlocking the significant economic development potential identified in this report."
