The 32/52 was often a fun run in the night hours. Always worse during the school holidays, which is slightly ironic as I wouldn't have thought the delinquents would be at school very often. My worse assaults though were on the 19 at either end at Restalrig and Pilton! And this was 15 years ago when things were better. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15201#post-194265 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 15:47:13 +0000 gembo 194265@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>actuallly, just feels like 100 mph, I'm in love with massachussets, with the radio on.</p> <p>probably only 90mph </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15201#post-194259 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 14:30:43 +0000 chdot 194259@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"no wonder they hammer it at 100mph up the lanark road"</p> <p>Not proven... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15201#post-194258 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 14:15:04 +0000 gembo 194258@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@wc after about 6pm bus stops? but yes, imagine eing the night bus driver. no wonder they hammer it at 100mph up the lanark road </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15201#post-194206 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 10:10:43 +0000 kaputnik 194206@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em> I think some services maybe even curtailed.
