Edinburgh's trams

Another day... more Labour carping!
They're determined to shove on with the wasteful tram system through in Edinburgh, whilst the rest of Scotland is made to wait for essential upgrades.

Today in the Scotsman, George Foulkes greets "They want it for dualling the A9. I've driven up the A9 - there are some parts of it where you don't see any cars for miles."

George may well be correct, but I wonder if it occurred to him at the parts
where he suddenly ran into a massive weight of traffic might have been due to the Italian campervan or Tesco Articulted lorry that was holding back the traffic for 10 miles on the single lane road.

We need upgraded infrastructure across the entire country, not some nice trams - which have more than enough disadvantages - for the privileged few who live in the capital.
