caption_attribution_description: English: Map showing the location of the proposed Edinburgh Gateway station (expected to open in 2016). With both tram and railway platforms, it will provide an interchange between the Edinburgh Trams line (opened May 2014) and the Edinburgh to Fife mainline railway. Also shown is the planned chord line to offer new routes/extra capacity on the mainline railway between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Most stations omitted for clarity.
context_page_description: Edinburgh Gateway station is a railway station and interchange at Gogar in Edinburgh, Scotland, which opened on 11 December 2016. It is served by Abellio ScotRail and Edinburgh Trams, and serves both Gogar and Edinburgh Airport, to which it is connected by the tram line.
context_section_description: As part of the Strategic Transports Project Review, which plans what is going to happen with Scotland's transport over the next 20 years, 29 investment priorities were identified in support of the future growth of Scotland's businesses and communities. One of these was the construction of Gogar station for better access to Edinburgh Airport through onward travel on the Edinburgh tram network as well as the rest of the area through the integration with the tram system. This may be to compensate for the scrapping of the Edinburgh Airport Rail Link and the station was part of the original proposal. The station would also thought to be delivered sooner.
