Long overdue, fingers crossed ECC spends it wisely now

    More trams essentially. But cycle improvements, perhaps more park and rides, or cycle storage even. A metro in Edinburgh is exceptionally unlikely due to the hilly nature and already built environment. And north to south is questionable too, the majority of commuters coming from the west for instance. Can’t comment on the guy

    Do you stay in Edinburgh? What would you spend it on?

      Long ago, as a student, but not so much has changed. Due to ancient geology the main roads, railways and tram already run east-west, which is why a tunnel would complement that for north-south, although trams across the bridges are an obvious first step to replace the queue of buses.
