Edinburgh Park railway station is a railway station in the west of Edinburgh serving the Edinburgh Park business park and the Hermiston Gait shopping centre. The station opened in December 2003 and is the first intermediate station between Haymarket and Linlithgow since 1951.
There are two platforms, linked by a covered footbridge, which is accessible by either stairs or a lift. There is also a pedestrian underpass just outside the station, accessible from both platforms. Tickets are available from one of the two ticket machines.
Edinburgh Park station is on the edge of South Gyle. It should not be confused with South Gyle railway station which is a mile (two kilometres) away.
The railway through Edinburgh Park station was electrified (using overhead wires at 25 kV) in October 2010 as part of the Airdrie-Bathgate Rail Link project.
Should the Edinburgh Tram scheme ever reach the station's area (as is planned), then it will become a fully staffed rail/tram interchange.
Edinburgh to Dunblane, Milngavie and Helensburgh services call at the station, providing six trains an hour to Edinburgh city centre.
