RAIL passengers are facing disruption after a signalling fault near Edinburgh Airport. Network Rail confirmed the fault, revealing that their emergency tripwire at the airport site had been activated, causing some signals to turn to red on the east coast route. The system, which is there to detect aircraft accidents that could endanger the railway, is said to have malfunctioned on this occasion, with no risk to the railway found.
