Introduction
The way in which people enter and move around the project plays a vital role in ensuring our
proposal runs efficiently. Being an eco-friendly project, modes of transport to and from the site is
of particular importance in the battle to reduce our carbon footprint and preserve the planet.
Details of how to get to the site and how to move around shown here as well as information on the
green alternatives our project encourages people to choose.
General Access
The proposed site (marked E on figure 2) is bound to the
North by Research avenue which links into the A71 and then
onto the busiest road in Scotland, the M8 motorway. This
makes the site easily accessible by car to all of central
Scotland and beyond. It is only 1.2 miles from the Edinburgh
City bypass which provides access to the East and South of
Edinburgh.
Curriehill Train Station (D) is a mere 2.1 miles away which runs
from Edinburgh Waverly to Glasgow Central, covering a huge
area of central Scotland. There is a possibility of a shuttle bus
during busy events which will transport people to the project
from the station.
