Truncated

Better news for Edinburgh taxi drivers. Last night saw another shortening of the troubled tram line from the airport. Passengers with heavy luggage will now be turfed off at Haymarket.  A handy 850m hop to the Conference Centre, 2.5km to the Royal Mile, and 3.3km to the Scottish Parliament.  Bags with wheels are little help up and down the hills of the Scottish capital.

Taxis are £1.60 to hire before 6pm, £2.70 after 6pm - you get the first 450 metres thrown in, and then its 25p for 210 metres or 45 seconds of waiting time - currently a big earner because of tram construction works !
