Just curious as to how the Closing off of Princes street is affecting you edinburgh guys. I was up there Last Night (sunday) and it was bloody awful as I was on Diverted streets that Id never even seen before....I dread to think how bad it must be during the pm rush hour. I couldnt fancy do your jobs right now.

Is it all one set of diversions or several different diversions? seems like the whole of edinburgh is one Big diversion even on the outskirts by the end of seafield road. If its not work related I Intend to avoid Edinburgh for the next 10 months

Matters not whether the public wants it not...the Public are now the servants of the Council and no more are the Council the servants to the Public...

I want the trams. I've always supported them. The council is right to spend our money on this excellent service concept.

They should be congratulated.
