I’m pleased to say I have now been offered a role in your city and I hope to move up there in the next couple of months or so.</p> <p>So, next question!…can anyone offer advice on flat hunting?</p> <p>I have had a quick look on rightmove.com for flats…there isn’t a great deal of selection. Is there a more popular website in Edinburgh to use, or is the rental market quite competitive?<br /> My job is going to be based in Edinburgh Business Park and I was thinking of looking in the area to the west of the city (near to Haymarket) as that obviously has great connections to bus, train and tram. Do you think I could find a decent 1 bedroom flat for around £550 a month (I couldn’t really afford much more!)<br /> Thanks for reading<br /> Bob </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11780#post-135469 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 21:55:46 +0000 kaputnik 135469@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2013/12/letter-to-the-editor-haymarket-misery" rel="nofollow">http://www.theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2013/12/letter-to-the-editor-haymarket-misery</a></p> <p>Letter to the Editor – Haymarket Misery</p> <p><em>It seems that scaremongering by the pedal cycling minority is now to further inconvenience Edinburghers and in particular those who are mobility challenged.</p> <p>The closure of the taxi rank at Haymarket will impact those who have difficulty in walking to “nearby” cab ranks.</p> <p>But if it saves one cyclist…</em></p> <p>I submitted an extensive reply, but certainly didn't rise to the "if it saves one cyclist" bait. Although I may have referred (tongue in cheek) to a "mobility impaired minority". I also didn't reply that he's much closer to Waverley if his access needs require it - the cramped and multi-level environs of Haymarket being notoriously bad for anyone with any sort of mobility issue (or even carrying a bike or pram or lots of luggage) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2174#post-22914 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 23:35:58 +0000 cb 22914@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Covered racks are being installed between the cash machines and the coffee stand.</p> <p>Sorry for poor quality photo.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39014236@N05/5411200383/" title="New bike racks by ccbb7766, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4147/5411200383_b35595fc66.jpg" alt="New bike racks" /></a></p> <p>Hopefully there will be lots of racks, enough to cope with both the projected increase in Haymarket passenger numbers and percentage share of cycling numbers in Edinburgh in general. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=441#post-3297 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 21:12:29 +0000 SRD 3297@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Report <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/8543509.stm">here </a>on the start of upgrading at Haymarket [Station], which I presume will mean bike access [to the tracks] too.
