Nicely resurfaced too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9949#post-107739 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 20:55:04 +0000 kaputnik 107739@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bruce - I was probably doing closer to 15 and still got overtaken! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9949#post-107722 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 17:06:05 +0000 bruce_mcadam 107722@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's a 5mph limit Kaputnik -- I hope you're not recklessly going more than double the speed limit.</p> <p>Are these going to be physical barriers? What design, and can anybody find information about how cyclists will get past? (I ride in and out of the station every working day). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9949#post-107719 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 15:38:06 +0000 kaputnik 107719@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm also none too keen on how they treat people trying to cross the zebra crossing to Platforms 10/11 and I've had punishment passes cyling out the station, despite the 10mph limit (and going over that!) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9949#post-107716 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 15:15:05 +0000 Calum 107716@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/news/transport/waverley-station-to-get-taxi-barriers-1-2895361" rel="nofollow">http://www.scotsman.com/news/transport/waverley-station-to-get-taxi-barriers-1-2895361</a></p> <p>I question why taxis are needed in the station at all now that there are lifts, but in any case I hope this will go some way towards ameliorating the filthy toxic air these people create. </p>
