The Scotsman report in May 2010 that the plans for the £43m rail and tram interchange at Gogar had been rubber-stamped by councillors and work will get under way later in 2010. Network Rail are undertaking the works at their expense but the Council will pay just over quarter of a million pounds towards some of the work required to Gogar roundabout.

The BBC reported in March 2010 that the Transport chiefs ‘want the Edinburgh tram network’. They highlighted the various problems affecting the tramline and the fact that ” Soaring costs and seemingly endless traffic disruption have already caused frustration and anger in the capital.”

The Scotsman related that Ian Rankin was apparently not consulted on the proposal to use his name and a photo of him to decorate a tram.

The BBC also reported in December 2009 that the tram lines are dangerous for cyclists who are to be offered classes in navigational issues.

The BBC carried a report in November 2009 that Princes Street was to reopen for Christmas.

There is a very nice YouTube film in our gallery which you can see here. It tries to tell some of the official story
