The Perth–Edinburgh Railway Order 2019

The Scottish Government has made the above order to ensure that work on the Perth-Edinburgh Railway can begin as swiftly as possible. This has been done following parliamentary approval for the proposed works, which the Government decided to respect whilst not being legally obliged to do so.

The order’s purpose is to provide for the legal basis by which the works can be conducted by the appropriate agencies. Furthermore, it confirms the processes by which those effected can claim the compensation to which they are legally entitled. It is our hope that the works continue on schedule so that those travelling between Scotland’s ancient and modern capitals can reap the rewards.
