So here we go again...
In an attempt to actually get the trams to go to Leith in the dim and distant future, Princes Street will be closed for another ten months starting from July.
Apparently the contractors have accepted liability for using the wrong type of concrete and will pay for the remedial work.
It's blindingly obvious to anyone who has looked at the tram tracks on Princes Street that the work is not up to scratch. Indeed, I've seen remedial work being carried out late at night on my way home from backshifts twice in the last year. How many other times has it taken place when I didn't see it?
Also, do they have to start at the beginning of the tourist season? Couldn't they at least wait until the Festival is over?
I'm still pro-Tram. I've just given up trying to defend the incompetent management of the project, and I suspect that after all the hassle trying to get this one tram line laid then we've got virtually no chance of seeing a tram network in this city.
