There are plenty that will stop anything short of a tank at full pelt. The capital cost, plus the bureaucracy of undertaking such a project, is why we choose solutions that are effective and rapidly deployed while risk assessmenting away the factor of potential injury outside the target demographic.</p> <p>The risk assessment probably exists. At a guess it might state unlikely or very unlikely with significant to severe impact for personal injury, and unlikely or possible but severe impact for uncontrolled vehicle incursion. A risk impact matrix would score these as mostly medium and mostly medium-high respectively. CEC I'm sure is comfortable with the notion of a medium risk to people just going about their business and not looking where they're going. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19562#post-382685 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 11:01:18 +0000 neddie 382685@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>ADMIN EDIT</p> <p>Content removed at request of poster </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19562#post-382683 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 10:12:00 +0000 jdanielp 382683@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>T***p's an absolute weapon. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19562#post-382681 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 09:47:35 +0000 gembo 382681@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>In T***p’s America after ICE have murdered the woman in Minneapolis their defence is that the woman weaponised her car by getting into it.

I'm planning to cycle but am I missing something about bike parking. One comes down the ramps and then do we have to push bikes to find bike racks? Is there a cycle route? I've only ever been to the station to get a train with a bike, never parked one there. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19562#post-346888 Fri, 19 Feb 2021 21:18:02 +0000 wingpig 346888@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Need to get them to build in a wee nook somewhere on the cycle access ramp for the police van to park where it's out of the way. Hope they remember to keep a nice clear north-south path for people cutting through from the bus stops on Princes Street to the Fleshmarket Steps. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19562#post-346885 Fri, 19 Feb 2021 20:36:13 +0000 chdot 346885@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/business/designer-named-for-next-steps-of-edinburgh-waverley-revamp-3140561" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/business/designer-named-for-next-steps-of-edinburgh-waverley-revamp-3140561</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19562#post-340298 Wed, 18 Nov 2020 12:33:01 +0000 chdot 340298@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/people/work-starts-ps18-million-improvements-travellers-edinburgh-waverley-3038551" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/people/work-starts-ps18-million-improvements-travellers-edinburgh-waverley-3038551</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19562#post-305011 Sat, 20 Apr 2019 06:50:44 +0000 LivM 305011@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cycled to Waverley yesterday with son in trailer. Four police vans parked in cycle lane. Plus an access crane thing parked up with bollards all around it. </p> <p>The gate at the bottom needed three of us to get the bike/trailer combo through (me pushing bike, my husband physically lifting the trailer around the turns and a fortuitously-arriving stranger who kept the gate open). Could they possibly have put it in an easier place? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19562#post-305009 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 23:09:18 +0000 the canuck 305009@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>i was trying to work out what dougal means--carry the bike in? i mean, if you're cycling to the train station, wouldn't it be better to arrive on the same level as the train you need to put the cycle on? and i wouldn't cycle inside the station, so i'm not understanding the carrying comment. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19562#post-304974 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 21:52:13 +0000 chdot 304974@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“it seemed to be on track level.”</p> <p>That’s why there are lifts. </p> <p>Would be nice if there was direct access to P20!... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19562#post-304972 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 21:16:38 +0000 the canuck 304972@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>ok. i just remember seeing an opening into the station that way when i used that route last summer during the construction on Leith Street, it seemed to be on track level. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19562#post-304806 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 09:12:00 +0000 dougal 304806@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well, there's bike access in the sense that you can carry your bike in via Calton Road. If the same criteria were used for car access we'd not hear the end of it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19562#post-304797 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 23:08:44 +0000 chdot 304797@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes, up and down lifts too.
