I asked the site engineers if they were constructing a ramp access to the North Edinburgh Sub cycle line, and they confirmed this. If you ask this group if they are surveying the tunnel for structural safety reasons, they may tell you the real reason. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4178#post-46701 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 16:49:06 +0000 kaputnik 46701@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>seemed to be using a volvo estate</em></p> <p>Sounds like WFB! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4178#post-46694 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 16:40:39 +0000 Min 46694@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Kirst, I just passed a group of people loitering about in the tunnel with some sort of tripod set up.

At thought it might be one of the photographers on this forum, but they seemed to be using a volvo estate so maybe not. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4178#post-46646 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 13:14:40 +0000 spitters 46646@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@DaveC - lol - no sit down, that was funny<br /> @Kirst - yes they go past Haymarket and wonder "just what the h£ll are they digging this up for AGAIN?" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4178#post-46644 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 13:09:58 +0000 Kirst 46644@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Some time in the past couple of weeks someone has painted a figure on the ground in the tunnel, like a chalk outline of a body. This morning on my way to work via the tunnel there were a few people hanging around at the gate at the top, with something that looked like either a fancy camera or possibly surveyor's equipment, although I don't think they were surveyors. I've just come back the other way and just outside the bottom of the tunnel is what looked like a metal frame with some sort of gas or electric meter attached (this might just be a random dumping though), and some people hanging about in the tunnel. I think they were the same people who were there earlier this morning. They had a little wreath of twigs or something at the side of the tunnel and they were burning it.</p> <p>Do people who drive to work have this sort of excitement? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4178#post-43450 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 17:40:15 +0000 DaveC 43450@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Next time I cycle past I'll have a butchers....</p> <p>I'll get my coat. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4178#post-43446 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 16:38:27 +0000 ruggtomcat 43446@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I thought it was, passed it a couple of mornings ago and decided 'nahh, cant be.' and carried on. Where on earth did they get it from? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4178#post-43433 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 15:12:53 +0000 kaputnik 43433@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oh dear...</p> <p>Did notice a number of empty 24-boxes of Tennents tins at the bottom of the tunnel on Friday morning, with the cans strewn around all over the place. I don't normally go this way so didn't realise this was a common occurence. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4178#post-43428 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 15:06:27 +0000 amir 43428@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Didn't see that, though the party evidence was clear. No glass though, that's the main thing! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4178#post-43421 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 14:49:17 +0000 wee folding bike 43421@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Was it Lord of the Flies? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4178#post-43417 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 14:25:00 +0000 Kirst 43417@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was going to put this in Wildlife Highlight of the Day, but then thought better of it.</p> <p>A colleague has just informed me that as he entered the bottom of the Innocent Tunnel on Friday afternoon, in addition to the usual pile of empty bottles and Party 7s, there was a huge cloud of flies around a pig's head. Being a numpty, he didn't report it to anyone. </p> <p>I've just reported it to the local team. Poor bloke having to send a team out to collect a pig's head. He says nobody else has reported it over the weekend, so either it's still there, or someone's taken a shine to it and taken it home. </p>
