It would be extremely valuable and beneficial to the local economy, when so many shops are closing their doors due to competition from Giants, such as sainsbury's. Penicuik is an important part of the area, and the rail link will revitalise the town, bringing much needed funding for things like community projects.

There are far to many cars on the road and a sensibly located station would benefit all before the building of new homes.
The prospect of these new homes coud potentially bring a further 1000 cars, the current infa structure is bursting at the seems with travel to Edinburgh taking longer each year bupy car or bus.
I'm surprised infrastructure was not considered and first before going ahead and approving new homes.

The council have talked for years about making the road from Penicuik to Edinburgh a dual carriageway. Why? It would mean more cars in the city. Reinstating the railway was going to be slightly more costly but it makes more sense, it will cut the amount of cars, it's environmentally friendly and faster than driving in a traffic jam and through town.

I feel reinstating the railway would have great benefits to the residents, reducing commute time and reducing road usage on the overused A701. Also, I think towns with rail network are more attractive to retailers and this would hopefully benefit our atrocious shopping centre as it stands, another of our massive let downs as a result of midlothian council decisions.
