Large numbers of buses, hurtling taxis, tram lines to dodge, and numerous sinkholes deepening around service access covers in the road where you would want to cycle, i.e where the tram lines are not.</p> <p>Still, at least along most of it there are no private cars, vans or lorries to worry about. Which makes it slightly less stressful than Lothian Road or Queen Street, and a fair bit more bearable than Haymarket or York Place. But that's not saying much. It is fairly flat, which is nice. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19902#post-315894 Wed, 16 Oct 2019 09:38:44 +0000 chdot 315894@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/people/poundland-set-move-princes-street-retail-exodus-new-edinburgh-st-james-centre-continues-815282" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/people/poundland-set-move-princes-street-retail-exodus-new-edinburgh-st-james-centre-continues-815282</a> </p>
