Scotland Railway managing director Alex Hynes said: “Our city stations, and the economies they support, will be key to how the country recovers from the impact of Covid-19 and nowhere more so than in our Capital.

“As restrictions ease and people begin to move around the country again, designing a station that works for the city, both now and in the future, is an important step to creating a modern, vibrant transport hub that will attract people to the railway and provide a distinctive and fitting gateway for people arriving into Edinburgh.”

Additionally, Network Rail stated that it had collaborated closely on previous projects with Mott MacDonald across the UK.
