		The blaze, which started in a shed in the Redding area of Falkirk, was quickly extinguished, but fire crews found an acetylene cylinder in the shed which had the potential to blow up like an "explosive device".
		Railtrack closed lines and ScotRail initiated an emergency service, but there were fears that the line could remain closed for 24 hours.
		But with the discovery of an acetylene cylinder in the shed, fire chiefs were forced to extend their exclusion zone which meant that the diversion had to be closed by Railtrack at about 9.30am.

		The area is served by three trunk roads: the M8, which links Edinburgh with Glasgow; the M9, which connects Edinburgh with Falkirk and Stirling and joins the M8 at Newbridge and the A720 Edinburgh bypass which links into the M8 at Hermiston Gait.
		Edinburgh Airport is relatively well connected to Edinburgh city centre with a high frequency express bus.
		Since the 1980’s the line of the city by-pass on the west side of the city has been seen as a defensible and long term boundary for the urban area and has protected the countryside from urban sprawl and prevented coalescence of communities.

		Main line electrification of Glasgow (via Falkirk) - Edinburgh (via Dundee) - Aberdeen 'triangle.' Where electrical investment has been pursued elsewhere in Britain, offers significant efficiency and long- term operational gains, not to mention more appeal to passengers than old-fashioned fume-emitting diesels, although these are less polluting than road vehicles.
		Early electrification of the Glasgow - Falkirk - Edinburgh line, as recommended by the 1993 Joint Local Authorities/Scotrail Study, should include Cumbernauld/Stirling- Dunblane commuter lines, as a prelude to Perth-Dundee logically linking the ECML electrification extension north of Edinburgh to Aberdeen via Fife and Dundee.
		Introduction of 14 new commuter lines, some with tourism potential Re-opening/replacing previously 'axed' lines, or short new constructions could make a major contribution to the reduction of ever increasing road traffic crashes, congestion, pollution and environmental damage and demands for yet more roads.

	The Falkirk Wheel and Millennium Link Canals - A guide to the world's first rotating boat lift (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Falkirk Wheel is the world's only rotating boatlift and is used to connect the Forth and Clyde and Union canals in central Scotland.
		Designed to replace a series of lock gates built in the 19th Century - long since demolished and replaced by housing - the Falkirk Wheel is the showpiece of the Millennium Link project where coast-to-coast navigation of the canals has been re-established for the first time in over 40 years.
		The Union (or Edinburgh and Glasgow Union) canal was opened much later in 1822 and operated from Edinburgh to Falkirk with a series of locks connecting the two canals at Port Downie in Camelon.

		The new Bathgate and Airdrie line, which the Scottish Executive is committed to building, is considered by some to be a possible route for a high-speed service.
		Another route via Shotts is favoured by the likes of Begg and Docherty but the Scott Wilson report finds it less suitable than the Carstairs route.
