Local MSP asks for meeting with Flynn over Winchburgh station
Jenny Young, MSP for Central Scotland and Lothians West, has asked for a meeting with Transport Secretary, Stephen Flynn, to find out whether or not The Scottish Government will provide funding for a new railway station in Winchburgh this year. In June in the Holyrood Chamber Mr Flynn told Ms Young that the construction of a station would be the responsibility of West Lothian Council and Winchburgh Developments but that The Scottish Government would “engage with them” in that process. West Lothian Council and Winchburgh Developments have since secured planning permission and are now waiting for The Scottish Government to commit the necessary funding.
