Anyone seen skateboarding? This will become particularly relevant many years from now. It is like a sociological snapshot. There should be more such videos from many places around the world.

@steve-marsh

Жыл бұрын

Ahhh some nice inside info there! So many wee local knowledge short cuts in Edinburgh (and sadly needed as well!)

Well done guys! In reverse order, 1) Everybody thinks the Newhaven terminus is in a bizarre place! You'd have thought it would run into Western Harbour (that's the new flats next to Asda, there) or indeed, up to Newhaven Harbour as you say. I guess the road is wider where they've put it - and there is passive provision for an extension along to Granton that's being talked about already, along with a revised route up there from Princes Street... 2) Yeah, the time's up for those anchor-store-at-either-end 90s shopping centres. Ocean Terminal is unusual in that it lost both of its anchor stores (Debenhams and Bhs) and, most of the shops that remain are actually on the upper floors! I think the cinemas do quite well there, so I guess that's the reason... 3) The Tallin ship, which arrived the previous Sunday, is the temporary home of a couple of thousand Ukranian refugees. The City Council and many others are none too happy about this. I'm not sure if you noticed, but Victoria Bridge (the old wooden one that used to carry railway lines between what's now Rennies Isle and the Southern end of the docks and Seafield Yard (and thereby providing one of the physical links between the former Caledonian and North British Railways) is being restored as a public walkway. It's looking quite good! 4) Yes, whomever would have thought the Port of Leith would turn into a wine bar, Steve?? 5) I take it you don't prefer Wetherspoons for meals? Only, the Foot of the Walk pub is right next to, well, the Foot of the Walk tram-stop! There's also a nice new sit-in chippy at that end of Great Junction Street, should you ever be down that way again... 6) So don't you do avocado either, then? I've always felt it tastes like soap myself... 7) Not much of Shrubhill tram depot (of the old system) left now, is there? The even older Leith Tram Depot (on the other side of The Walk, behind Inchkeith House - which was the Leith Tramways Company's offices), was only recently demolished too. 8) You've been away from Edinburgh too long if you're surprised that there's still work to be done in that Leith Street / Broughton Street / Picardy Place island! It seems to me it's just what it £%&*ing does!! 9) Although all traces of York Place Tram Stop has now been removed (the platform was sitting over the city-bound tracks), all passenger trams prior to the recent opening of the extension still ran down there empty, to use the crossover... 10) In have always favoured that now-£475-a-night hotel building with the stone figurines too. 11) The latest proposed tram route to Granton would leave Princes Street and turn along Queensferry Street and then continue via Orchard Brae and the Western General Hospital to Crewe Toll, before adopting the former railway alignment to West Granton - where it may or may not link up with that extension from Newhaven, if it is ever built... 12) Note the track loop in what used to be the coal depot at Haymarket Yards - handy for turning extra westbound trams at the end of big events at Murrayfield. There's also passive provision in the trackwork for a turnout just where the line crosses the old Caledonian Railway Princes Street to Leith & Granton Line - along the track-bed of which was where it was originally planned to go. 13) Where did you live in Edinburgh, then? I'm at Gorgie Park - we must have just about been neighbours! And, surely I'm not the only one who reads 'Jenners Suppository' on that warehouse buildlng?? 14) The City of Edinburgh Council decided to drop the proposed branch from Ingliston to Newbridge recently - and proposes to use the money (which they don't yet have) to lay tracks "Up the A71 corridor to serve the college and university campuses at Sighthill and Riccarton." 15) 'Saughton' is a misnomer, isn't it? I'd have thought thnat 'Carrick Knowe' or even 'Broomhouse' would have been better. It does serve the Government offices there mind you - and it was originally known as "Saughton Hospital." 16) Gyle Centre has kept both its anchor stores - but has lost several others and is looking pretty tired now, I agree. What on earth persuaded them to put the tram stop so far away from everything else? Despite this inconvenience, it's fairly well used. 17) Edinburgh Gateway wasn't originally there when the tramway first opened. It is now used mainly by staff as their changeover point. The biggest white elephant of all is the enormous railway station with all mod cons above - it is only there at all because, while the Scottish Government revised the original plan for the Edinburgh & Glasgow Electrification Project - which was to have had most of its' trains diverted through the new station and along a new curve that was to be constructed to the south of Dalmeny; the contract for the tram interchange station had already been let... 18) So, when you're building a brand new tramway along a completely new alignment, it's so obvious to build the stop that serves one of the largest employment centres in the city at the other side of a busy dual carriageway, isn't it? 19) I've not been along there for a while, but permission is now granted for the development of new housing estates between Gogarburn and Ingliston stops - which will be served by a 24th tram stop I believe, for which passive provision is already made! So you might have to come back in a few years and do it all again - I'm sure Alicja wouldn't mind - in fact, she might even do it on your behalf, now that you've shown her how it all works [runs away and hides...!] 20) I might not have baked you a cake if I'd known you were coming - but as a holder of a C+ Edinburgh-issued concessionary pass, I could have chummed you along and saved you £12... Only saying!

Edinburgh Gateway is meant to be the airport mainline railway station. Of course, in any other country in Europe this would be a major stop for direct intercity express trains. But in the UK we do public transport really stupidly and any tourists fresh off the plane will find themselves on a tiny 2 car commuter train that they somehow have to fit all their luggage into. Great first impression that. Can't get over the stupidity of Scotrail's timetabling.

Edinburgh Gateway isn’t the mainline station for anything other than trains for the north of Scotland. One of the main points of the tram is that it takes you right into the City Centre directly to Haymarket and Waverley to change for the main line trains.

My old stomping ground 'Auld Reekie' great to see some of it from the perspective of the trams which I have not used yet...next time yer there you should visit The Athletic Arms ( locals call it diggers) near the brewery and grave yard hence the name Diggers, where the grave giggers used to frequent its a great pint and atmosphere .... and another interesting video thank you both :-)

I just found your channel, I am watching from Canada, would love to visit Scotland one day beautiful country.

What a fun one this was. Of course your able assistant Alicja always adds to the enjoyment. You two are troopers. Have to say I loved that flower garden. The pubs look very cool too. Another winner Steve.

Cheers Wanda, never EVER thought this would make a video :D

Why am i watching tbiz at 12am and ENJOYONG IT?? Definitely couldnt have done tbi s myself

Here's a challenge for both you Steve and alicja. Camping in your van or choosing you own accommodation travelling around Scotland starting from home and you choose ether way round travelling a lot the coast then heading in land. So east to west and south or north can yodo it if not I understand 🤔

My daughter and I this on the first day just to say we we were some of the first to ride the full route. Glad we’re weren’t the only ones that made a “game” out of it😅👌🏼 Cheers guys!

We have some great ideas eh!? 🤣

Was just in your beautiful city last week and your tram video was really helpful! Thank you for the education and for bringing me back there through this video. Cannot wait to visit again.

I have seen so many of your videos on TV but now on my IPad I wish to thank you for all your videos. You have taught me so much and it’s great to be able to tell you. Ps I watch all the adverts in full so hopefully you benefit. 👍👍👍

And yes Steve and Alicja i did watch you both from start to finnish.A bit of moral support doesn't go amiss,This was something that i will never do ,so many thanks for bringing me along for the day .Cheers to you both ,

"Home game" this week. I might have guessed that Edinburgh is a beautiful city and yes, it is. Your challenge is a perfect format to have a glimpse of its grandeur and it results in yet another item on my bucket list. Respect for your perseverance despite fatigue and growing appetite!

Note to self. Put good healthy snack's and water in your kit. Good challenge, very scenic!

One of your best videos Steve! Thanks to the both of you for your patience with this challenge! Geoff Marshall would be so proud of you! I'd LOVE to see you and Geoff collaborate on a video in the future!
