Among the banners adorning lampposts down Leith walk on 3 January 2011 is this one depicting a Pickering Standard tramcar on route 17, coming up from the 'Fit o' The Walk' in the mid 1950s. The destination is Newington Station where the tram would terminate in the middle of a road which wouldn't have been quiet even then. The plan is that trams will one day run again down Leith Walk, but who knows when? This is a bit of a sore point in Edinburgh.
