Edinburgh Tram Stalls
That is the headline in Modern Railways this month.
They reckon that there might be enough money left to complete the Edinburgh Tram from Edinburgh Airport to Haymarket, but say some politicians want to kill the whole project off. Wikipedia describes the whole sorry mess.
Apparently, Starbucks or was it Costa, has made a proposal to convert the tram marooned in Princes Street into a coffee shop.
The Anonymous Widower 
Heard a joke about the trams. Tourist boarding it asked when is the tram leaving? About 2014 was the reply….
That sounds a bit optimistic, although turning the demo one in to a coffee shop would at least we’d have a use for it!
