Either that or I was extremely unobservant on Tuesday. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12716#post-151327 Thu, 01 May 2014 12:35:16 +0000 crowriver 151327@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Odd. Most former 'Socialist' countries have these ramps on steps at all stations. I'm sure they used to have them in (former East) Berlin too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12716#post-151309 Thu, 01 May 2014 12:04:56 +0000 kaputnik 151309@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>They've had ramps like this on rail, metro station steps in other European countries for decades.</em></p> <p>Sadly missing from many of the U-bahn stations I came out of with a hefty hire bike in Berlin </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12716#post-151289 Thu, 01 May 2014 11:25:17 +0000 crowriver 151289@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Aye, noticed them this morning. Look very new: putty on the trailing edges looks fresh. </p> <p>They've had ramps like this on rail, metro station steps in other European countries for decades. Scotland finally catching up... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12716#post-151284 Thu, 01 May 2014 10:56:25 +0000 DaveC 151284@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>At one point the station had a ramp all the way off platform 20 to Carlton Road. Can't see why they don't open this permenantly, even if its only meant for wheelchair users! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12716#post-151250 Thu, 01 May 2014 07:03:39 +0000 gembo 151250@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Really? I carried bike up those steps after PoP3. So I either missed them or they went in after Saturday?</p> <p>I also missed the lift which is there too. Also lift from raised walkway onto top of princes at mall </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12716#post-151243 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 22:21:14 +0000 PS 151243@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>New addition at the Calton Road entrance to Waverley Station: they've installed those wee ramps up the side of the steps to allow you to wheel your bike up or down the flights of steps at the Calton Road entrance/exit. I may post a photo once I get my head around my flickr app. ;o) </p>
