What is the Haymarket Interchange Feasibility Study?
The City of Edinburgh Council commissioned a major feasibility study into how the Haymarket area can be improved over the next thirty years – The Haymarket Interchange Feasibility Study (HIFS). This study investigated the re-development of Haymarket Station and the surrounding area to create a contemporary, multi- modal transport ‘hub’ within Edinburgh. The study was funded by Transport Scotland and there are a wide variety of other organisations involved, including Network Rail, First ScotRail and Bus operators. The study’s aim was to deliver proposals for a regenerated Haymarket area which will ensure the city keeps moving as it continues to grow. It involved: 1. a feasibility study to consider proposals for a transport interchange at Haymarket to service public transport and the redevelopment of Haymarket Station and immediate surrounding area 2.
