throbber Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 The area out towards Granton will expand as well there will be loads new developments on the water front near the lidls out there. Granton itself will undergo a lot of work if I'm to believe what i hear, its a tad scabby just now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope there's a man with a red flag walking in front. Do they make any noise? Inaugural launch at staggering back from Friday night clubbing time could be another badly thought out plan.

Scary Bear Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 how long before someone gets run over by a tram? Should start a book. Now, will it be a local auld dear, a drunk, or a tourist?I'll go for an auld dear on a Saturday afternoon. Have we had our first team fatality yet, as in hit by a tram?

HTG Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I haven't read through this but the one thing you can say about the trams is that they're next to f**k all good to the people of Edinburgh who have paid for them. The whole thing is built around getting folk in from the airport. A stop at Edinburgh Park so that folk can head West and North out of the city. A stop at Murrayfield for the rugger chaps. It's pretty much missed out huge tranches of the West Edinburgh population. If they were genuinely concerned about improving transport for the citizens of the city they'd have built the things down to Leith and out to Bonnyrigg, Dalkeith etc - the areas where there is no train service. I'll get use out of them because I use the airport a lot but I don't live in Edinburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyerTon Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 £776 million. About four times the cost of the GARL. http://news.stv.tv/west-central/124166-row-over-glasgow-airport-rail-link-continues/ This was rail link being in place was part of the pitch to get the Commonwealth Games here this year then they go and cancel it, even after some preparation work had already started on it.

throbber Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I think its great that its open but its an almighty balls up that it doesn't come down Leith like it was proposed to. To say it doesn't serve the people of Edinburgh isn't quite correct because so long as it brings people to the city and makes its money back it will be worth it, which i believe it will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've already done a lot of the work for that piece of track so hopefully wouldn't cost too much to finish. I understand the people of Leith want to see it too.

Yeah thats what I'm hoping for, it will benefit a good chunk of the cities population if and when it goes down to the OT and will help me out a lot. Have a few things to do today but i will hopefully get a wee ride on it, lovely day for it as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
