Published on Wednesday 7 January 2009 09:25

A £620,000 extension of the station car park at Musselburgh has been completed with the addition of 93 new spaces.

Transport Scotland said the work would allow more people to switch to public transport.

The extension takes the total number of spaces to 119 at Musselburgh.

As part of the expansion, additional CCTV has been installed while enhanced lighting will improve the overall feeling of safety and security for customers.

The extension to the car park is the first in a series of enhancements at Musselburgh.

New facilities including a heated waiting room and customer information screens will be added in the coming months.

The completion of these projects takes Transport Scotland's total investment in railway car park extensions in the east of Scotland to around 2.25 million.

David Doris, project manager at Transport Scotland, said: "The car park expansion at Musselburgh will deliver real benefits."
