EDINBURGH'S embattled tram project looks destined to run only as far as Haymarket. Sources close to the project have told the Evening News that tram bosses are looking at leasing up to 20 trams, leaving them with just seven only enough to run a regular service between the airport and Haymarket.

Edinburgh's tram project divides opinion - though not very evenly.  This poster in a shop window in West Maitland Street is at the extreme end of the majority view.  The previous director of the project resigned calling it 'hell on wheels'.  Despite the route being scaled back the planned opening date seems to get further and further away.  Some might call the whole thing preposterous.  Photographed on 26 February 2011.
