We asked our 6 month old baby daughter Cara what she thought about the Edinburgh Tram Project. This was her response...
A group of tram enthusiasts and veterans from the days of Edinburgh's original tram network have visited the works and then been given a reception at the City's Council Chambers. Recorded before the decision to continue with the project, this reflects their desire to see a tram network completed in the City.
The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport has been following the progress the Edinburgh Tram Project with close interest. For some time, its members have wanted to visit the site to see for themselves what work has so far been carried out. They're concerned at the impact of recent disputes and are keen to see these resolved. This was a report on their visit to the control centre at Gogar on the West of Edinburgh
