Shawfair

Another day, another acronym... The latest building project to get underway on the site of the former Millerhill Marshalling Yard is RERC, the Edinburgh and Midlothian Recycling and Energy Recovery Centre. Located to the south of the Biogen food waste recycling plant and opposite the under construction ScotRail EMU depot, the new facility is due to come on stream in early 2018 and will result in permanent closure of Powderhall depot. Running between Newcraighall South Junction and Shawfair on 5 February 2017 is the 0911 Edinburgh – Tweedbank, with construction work taking place in the background.
