You can't stop on Ponton Street either, where the clinic is.</p> <p>But yeah. Clinic, main fire station for Central Edinburgh, Primary School, Nursery School, one way system. It really is mainly ideal for bike and bus and foot! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5012#post-53152 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 22:00:45 +0000 SRD 53152@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"round the back"</p> <p>opposite a busy GP clinic... </p> <p>Sorry. I know I'm not helping. But cars/primary schools are one of those things... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5012#post-53150 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 21:54:38 +0000 kaputnik 53150@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@jcoutts I think there's a back / side entrance to playground? Well, there's a gate anyway I pass every morning. Accessible from Thonybauk / West Tollcross, off Ponton Street. I wouldn't try stopping on the main road - otherwise you will incur my wrath as I cycle past in the morning :) You'll be much more likely to be able to stop/park a car round the back without committing an infraction.</p> <p>There's a tiny car park, but presume it's just for staff. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5012#post-53148 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 21:30:55 +0000 SRD 53148@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bus? (I'm presuming that you don't live in the catchment area). Surely one justification for putting the Gaelic programme at Tollcross was that it benefited from such good public transport connections? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5012#post-53146 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 21:09:54 +0000 jcoutts 53146@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi All. This may be committing a huge crime on a cycle forum, but here goes :-) </p> <p>My daughter starts at Tollcross Primary School soon - and I was wondering where people park (their cars!) to dropoff/pickup - for the life of me I can't find anywhere to park/stop without sitting on yellow lines or parking miles from school.. How does anyone on here do it? Any help would be very welcome :-), James.</p> <p>PS I'm taking her in on a bike (downhill most of the way, so easier!), but she gets picked up in a car thing. </p>
