Good spotting. What do you spec on destination? Is there access to the Edinburgh Airport through the train stop in Edinburgh Park? Or are they on their way to Glasgow, Stanraer and Belfast?

I think that it's just a shot of a train, if they were on it, they would be heading up over the Forth Rail Bridge and onto Dundee, which is the opposite direction for Belfast.
There is no train station at the airport and unless they are going to do something at the bridge, I can't see why they would be going that way.

If it is in the caps,  it is there for a REASON. We see a train? Great! Where is it going?

Are we being told to look at trains/ferries instead of planes in order to get Edinburgh>Belfast?

Peach,

Information on ferries and connections to them has already been developed in the Transportation thread, as has the flight possibilities. It was done weeks ago.

I looked at Scottish Rail schedules. They have 3 departures a day from Edinburgh>Belfast via Glascow/Stanraer. One at ~6:00 am and another at 10:00 am and one at night. Travel time is around 7+ hours.

I suspect that shot of the train is stock footage, but as Peach said, they dont show a train unless teams take a train. It is a waste of available program time otherwise. There are two mainlines from Edinburgh to Glasgow.......one this train is on (northern route) that goes to Glasgow Oueen St Station and another one (southern route) that branches off at Haymarket and goes to Glasgow Central. The connection to Stanraer (ferry port) is from Glasgow Central. but the two Glasgow stations are only about 5-6 blocks apart.

In the screencap that Mattjimf posted, you can see the junction where the tracks split........the right to Dundee and the left to Edinburgh Park and Glasgow. That route is not the most optimal. The better route is the southern route that splits at Haymarket station.

The train is on this route:

I can only think the first clue is to go to a look-out point at North Queensferry to get the clue, then they have to head back to get to Belfast.

For the train to Belfast they would have to take the following route:


The area where the train is shown is highlighted below:

The purple is the mainline to Glasgow and the west coast, the red is the direction the train in the caps is heading.

I would argue that the helicopter shot of the train leaving Edinburgh may not necessarily be the train that teams are on.  The Pilot was just told to get a shot the out bound train and happened to track the wrong one.  The Teams may well be on a different train that is headed to Glasgow.

On the other hand, maybe they are going up to the north of Edinburgh to do this task at some farm:   The time of day (just after sunrise) is consistent from train shot to farm shot

Note the camera boom and the tent set up on the floor of the Titanic's drydock.

They must be doing an additional task down there:   :ascared
