The Miracle

Well, it's been a long time coming, but Princes Street finally reopens tomorrow morning for buses and taxis from the Mound along to Lothian Road. Final touches were being put on the line markings tonight as I walked home, including some rather amusing TRAMS ONLY lettering along the road. Amusing because we're still 2 years away from the blinking things trundling along the roads. It is good to see the old street without hoardings and fencing.
