With the integrated railway of the time he'd have a quiet word with track/bridge maintenance/renewals people and get little details included in the work, ready for the green light on electrification. Can't help thinking that the basics for tram tracks down the Bridges might be set out </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20779#post-362763 Thu, 18 Aug 2022 08:51:31 +0000 chdot 362763@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I’m sure NB has been discussed elsewhere, but couldn’t find it. </p> <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/transport/edinburghs-scotsman-hotel-warns-cafe-at-risk-of-closure-because-of-north-bridge-disruption-3809650" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/transport/edinburghs-scotsman-hotel-warns-cafe-at-risk-of-closure-because-of-north-bridge-disruption-3809650</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20779#post-356401 Wed, 03 Nov 2021 20:05:02 +0000 Morningsider 356401@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The alternative to the bridge works is North Bridge eventually collapsing onto Waverley station. I wonder what Edinburgh's resident twitter consulting engineers/transport planners would make of that? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20779#post-356400 Wed, 03 Nov 2021 19:58:32 +0000 crowriver 356400@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Yofhrin, "...they somehow think Tories would be able to conduct substantial roadworks without any disruption, perhaps via some kind of witchcraft?"</p> <p>You cotton on quick. Tories would call it "the invisible hand of the market". If they get in, that's about all the city residents will have left to deliver essential services... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20779#post-356397 Wed, 03 Nov 2021 18:05:21 +0000 Yodhrin 356397@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Fun little tweet selection there. It's an odd world when "we need to do works to preserve this historical landmark" results in "rabble rabble now the Tories will win the elections and save us!" - I always wonder if they've forgotten what "conservative" means or if they somehow think Tories would be able to conduct substantial roadworks without any disruption, perhaps via some kind of witchcraft? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20779#post-356396 Wed, 03 Nov 2021 17:45:35 +0000 chdot 356396@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.broughtonspurtle.org.uk/news/north-bridge-partial-closure-could-last-9-months" rel="nofollow">https://www.broughtonspurtle.org.uk/news/north-bridge-partial-closure-could-last-9-months</a> </p>
