Distance

Saughton Halt West
Looking west along the guided busway from one of the bus stops. The busway is a dedicated road for buses, and is presumably intended to be part of an efficient and integrated transport system that we will have in Edinburgh sometime in the future. The electronic bus information display indicated that no information was available.

Roadworks, Broomhouse
Another road closure, maybe tram related as there is a works entrance here. The tramline is to the left.

Guided busway station
The Edinburgh public cannot be trusted to cross the busway all by themselves so a pedestrian crossing is provided. How they manage in other countries, I can't imagine.

Tram line, Broomhouse Drive
Started life as a guided busway. The cables have yet to go up. Only half a route was built due to a long list of mistakes, mismanagement and a bit of bad luck. Building out here was almost painless, the problems happened in town with the expense and difficulty of rerouting all the understreet utilities.

Broomhouse Drive
Currently restricted to westbound traffic only. This has nothing to do with the adjacent tramway construction, but is due to comprehensive rebuilding and resurfacing. The eastbound bus stop is flagged as out of use.

Saughton tramstop
On the site of the former guided busway. Construction is well advanced although there is still much to do.

Saughton House
Government Offices, home to HM Inspectorate of Education.
A large swathe of green space has been left next to the railway line in this western part of Edinburgh. This has made it the ideal choice of route for Edinburgh's still to be constructed tram system.
The cycle route, hugging the road, could have been made so much better with bridges over the north-south running roads, rather than the awkward pedestrian shared crossings and inevitable "cyclists dismount" signs.

Tram line, Broomhouse Drive
The tracks are down but the cables have yet to be put up. This is part of what was to be a three line network but will in reality just be half a route from the city centre to the airport.
The trackbed had a previous life as a guided busway. Image
