We have become accustomed to the tram debate.
Every taxi driver in town has a view on it. Every dinner party has at least five or ten minutes devoted to it, usually of the “sorry we’re late it’s the roadworks” variety. Now, at last, we can see something tangible for all our suffering…..a whole tram is sitting on Princes Street this morning. But it is doing just that. Sitting. Not moving. Sitting.
Jenny Dawe will receive the keys for it tomorrow at a ceremony and she is hopeful that the sight of a tram will be good enough to keep us all quiet for a little longer whilst the travails of the council and TIE continue.
It will not be until 2012 that the trams will actually be running.
