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.

resolvedHi forumites who know their way round RBS at Gogarburn.
I need to get to the Conference Centre on Wed 4th May at 14.00. Can anyone give me advice on getting there by bike and public transport please?
Bike directions only needed from main gate (where is the main gate) and if there's a place to lock the bike. Public transport I guess would be the tram? Again, what's the best route to get to the actual conference centre.
Many thanks, ih
Assuming you're coming from the town centre and wanting to bring a bike but not necessarily ride it to Gogarburn, then the tram is the best bet. Get off at the Gogarburn tram stop.
Ride your bike round the spiral that gets you onto the RBS Bridge and across the A8. As you come down the bridge into the site, you'll see a sign to the A8 bike path but ignore it and carry on along the pavement until you reach the roundabout at the end of the bridge. Turn right at the roundabout and take the internal road that heads west across the front of the car parks parallel with the A8.
Follow the road past the main entrance and over the Gogar Burn and look for a sign on your right for a road to the Conference Centre car park.
Ride up to the actual doors to the Conference Centre then dismount and walk your bike along the path that skirts the left edge of building. A little way along here you'll find a small cluster of Sheffield stands that you can lock it to.
...or so someone who works there assures me ;-)
Thanks @Greenroofer - very clear. I was only going to use the tram if the weather was bad, but I might try out the bike-on-tram facility and cycle back.
Cheers, ih
Assuming you are attending their AGM, there may be some extra security types mooching around who can help with directions etc. They're there to help. Honest.
Also for shareholders there is a free bus shuttle meeting trains at South Gyle and Edinburgh Park.
Thanks @Kaputnik. AGM, yes you got it. I will ask the nice security folk for help if I need it.
