Can't wait till it's all gone and it better be bloody spectacular, I'll be down there to video. You just know graffiti taggers will hit it within a few months.
Good to see the drone oot again Mike.

Michael, can you review the shopping mall at Waverly Station , we are coming back to Edinburgh in March and are interested to see it .

[@edinburghandbeyond]

I'll see what I can do for a tour

its the south bridge after the high st . north onto the south.

[@edinburghandbeyond]

Yes all the all up to be its all one bridge originally

[@andrewillingworth]

Wasn’t there a rumour that the tram line was going over the bridges to the hospital?

[@TheMcDermottFiles]

Wasn't that Dean bridge if the tram was going down towards Western General?
If they're thinking about sending trams to Little France that'll be a nightmare project and tonne more cash.

[@edinburghandbeyond]

Yea, but they are not doing that. Just now could happen

[@TheMcDermottFiles]

@@edinburghandbeyond we'd probably get Scottish Independence first before they start that project.

[@Ray.388]

bet it's got graffiti on it within 6 months.

[@jamescollins408]

Being reinforced to take the weight of trams.

[@edinburghandbeyond]

@@jamescollins408 you think that's coming

Git that eyesore of the bridge that should not have taken longer than 2 years for wee bridge the scaffolding could have been erected in 3 or 4 weeks the men have not been there working they'll put the bus fares and transport up to pay for it
