Why the cowgate is open today is a mystery to me. Edinburgh council getting the message finally it seems wrt to people, not cars

    Long time since I was there, but does Newington still have queues of buses competing for the same routes ?
    Imho, should be one tram route, with smooth change to buses towards outlying villages, from somewhere like Cameron toll.

      Still queues, especially 5pm. That’s being talked about as stage 4 on the tram plan. All unfunded at this stage. Stage 3 announced this week looks set to either tear up the roseburn cycle path or across the precarious dean bridge. Neither a great idea and a new crossing needed imo

        Btw, wasn’t there a convenient old tunnel from Waverley to Scotland street? Might make more sense for a N-S tram route, except would need matching tunnel at similar level on the old-town side.
        I liked the system in many east-european cities: Trams for the old centre, trolleybuses to the suburbs, ‘auto’-buses to the villages. Have to change, but it flows faster.
