Rail chiefs on track to complete a major, £25 million overhaul of Haymarket are using the same sort of plastic on the roof that was used at the Beijing Olympics. Allowing the Evening News in for an exclusive sneak peek, delighted bosses have also revealed they want the redevelopment to be used as a model for all new stations across the country, claiming the upgrade could not have been done any better without unnecessarily blowing public funds. The overhaul to Scotland’s fourth busiest station is entering the final phase of construction, with the last section of roof to be installed over the new concourse in the next fortnight.
