throbber Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Ever the optimist, Throbber! We have people to take to the airport i suggested we all took the tram together but apparently that wasn't a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Always thought the bus to Edinburgh airport was really good. Think I'll end up continuing to use the bus when I need to go to the airport. Trams will probably be pretty much useless for me as everywhere I go already has an excellent bus service. Probably the thing I like most about Edinburgh is how accessible everywhere I need to go is by bus. Hopefully won't look so odd with actual passengers on them, as opposed to the ghostly empty trams that keep going past up until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

th1stleandr0se Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Take the bus it's quicker and cheaper What worries me is that they'll stop the bus services thinking the tram will replace it. It won't, as the routes are different. I'm being selfish here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz FFC Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 What time do people get out their bed to see a tram that's been there for months? Some right sad folk with nowt better to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Well I walked the dog out to the Gyle and came back on the Tram. I stayed on as far as Princes street They're pretty damn cool as far as Shandwick place but we got a bit snarled up at the west end, thanks in part to a shit first bus driver who'd left his back end hanging out as he queued to get to a bus stop and then there were a few too many red lights Maybe I was unlucky, maybe they'll tune the traffic signals better as things settle in. Nonetheless I like them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I'm flying from Edinburgh at the end of next month and even though it's slightly more expensive and (supposedly) slightly longer, I'll probably get the tram from Haymarket just so see what they're like. It does seem like they've missed a trick in terms of journey time, though. Had things gone a bit smoother then quadrupling the segregated section from Haymarket to the Airport and having non- or limit-stop services would have been very appealing.

Limited stop trams won't work they would catch up to the one infront and have to stop anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
