You forgot
"dual the A96"
"Sheriffhall roundabout"

and

"we're the party of sound finance"

Lothian Buses today:

"oh FFS 🤦. We don't know. Nobody knows. Look, it's a shitshow out there, OK? If you really want to go out there, you're on your own"

Oh hello. Time for another round of ill-informed party political point-scoring.

Yes, but beware the multinational tech-based companies dreaming of taking over all transport in the city

Thank you. That's a handy source.

BTW @robbieainsworth.bsky.social‬ can you indicate source and time?
Some of those hotspots & coldspots look distinctly counter-intuitive...wonder if was while Wednesday's Princes St incident was on?

Where there used to be a bus lane and not so many car parking spaces feeding directly onto/off it.

No.
But what that pic appears to show is that the worst bus chaos is on Leith St.

Predictions, please, for the date of the first motion to Edinburgh Council "we've cut emissions by only 48% so let's give up any attempt and dual every road in sight".

IWRC, it was suggested the stop wouldn't be restored pending the George IV Bridge project being complete.

Even though there now appears to be a Bustracker screen. Which is a fairly permanent installation.

Street Scene with bus stop, passengers and customers going into and out of the Cameo Cinema in Edinburgh. It has an open porch over the street.

Tollcross’s busiest bus stop at Cameo Cinema, Edinburgh is to close for a week.
It is said to be for “safety reasons”; but it has also been suggested it’s to enhance red carpet treatment for celebrities. You can read the full Edinburgh Reporter story by clicking on the link:- bit.ly/452CPgr

Northbound bus stop George IV Bridge

Some of us are old enough to remember that the bus stop that used to be there was removed because Hotel Missoni thought it didn't suit the frontage of their 5(?) star hotel.

And we're still alive to witness that @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social still hasn't sorted out its replacement.

OK, as @lothianbuses.bsky.social has decided to exclude Bluesky users from this competition by default, we're posting it here to subvert their slave-like devotion to Twitter.

We won't make a habit of it though.

Stockbridge, especially on a busy day.

(Except for buses, obvs 🙂)

TBF, even in non-Festival times these wrap-around ads are a case study of street clutter.

Chiefly advertising @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social initiatives.

Also, the Edinburgh Evening News is called a 'newspaper', but consists largely of 'amazing pictures from the 1990s'.

But if it's news that there will be some news in the not too distant future...

Got it!
'Wind blows bouncy castle onto WW2 sea mine in Dalgety Bay'

'Fife man stubs toe'

Also a reminder of when one environmental group called on Network Rail to 'prioritise lineside trees'.

For individuals rather than organisations, apparently.
