CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!

Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.

A ScotRail Alliance spokeswoman said: “The map reveals widespread demand for rail travel as an attractive public transport option. Factors that drive growth include improvements to timetables, new or refurbished trains, and increased capacity, all of which we are addressing within this franchise.”

Well certainly the new £5 advance single fares are a great deal and make catching the train quite a bit cheaper than previously... :-)

It has pretty animations but doesn't actually give you data other than start and end.
Pity the data doesn't go back further than the late 1990s (the era of "peak car" allegedly, except for viewers in Scotland). Imagine if it went back to WW2, then I imagine we'd see a picture of staggering decline, with a recovery over the past 20 years but along specific routes.
