InTramCities with Gordon Stewart
Edinburgh, United Kingdom : 20th September 2016
A brief visit to central Edinburgh's Princes Street
Edinburgh's
controversial tramway now appears to be catching on with the public
although the inquest as to what went wrong in the delivery of the
system continues in the hands of a public scrutineer. Thoughts are now
being turned to extensions, including the original plan to reach Leith
and Newhaven. Princes Street, despite the banning of cars over most of
its length, remains a busy and for much of the day a chaotic
thoroughfare with innumerable buses jostling for position at the many
bus stops along the prestigious boulevard. In this view, looking
westwards from the main Princes Street tram stop,there is a welcome
break from the worst of the non-tram traffic, although one bus lies
closely alongside the nearside flank of the tram.
