When it was pointed out to the Council that the High School site could use the pitch at the Lees (see 'shared sports facilities pitch 4' post), the Council said closing the Edinburgh to Glasgow line was NOT an option. This would allow a bridge or tunnel to be used for access to the pitch area - it could be done anytime over the next two years. Under the present arrangement the pitches on the Thomas Muir site will NOT be ready when the new Academy building is occupied.
This week Scot Rail have closed the main line over Christmas and New Year - yes, the main Glasgow to Edinburgh rail line. If the Council had agreed to the use of pitch 4, this option would NOT have caused any further delay to any rail service.
Yet another excuse that has proved unfounded....
