Princes
Street Closed to Traffic
Princes Street between
the Scott Monument and the West End was closed to traffic in Autumn 2011
to allow the lines for Edinburgh's new trams to be re-laid. The
first attempt to lay these lines was not successful.
The re-laying of these
lines will resume after the Christmas and New Year Holiday, but for the
present festive period, Christmas and New Year, Princes Street has been
opened again to pedestrians - but not to traffic |
Snack
Bar
This snack bar together
with two old London Routemaster Buses to allow the customers to eat
their food inside, was set up in December 2011. Both buses are in
London Transport livery, except that only the bus on the left has a
LONDON TRANSPORT name on its side. The bus on
the right has a title in the same font, but it reads
EDINBURGH TRANSPORT. |
