Trouble with EDI is that when the Royal Highland Show is on at neighbouring Ingliston, the single single-carriageway road in and out of the airport becomes gridlocked. Yesterday at 5pm it took me 75 minutes to travel from the multi-storey car park to the Newbridge roundabout (2 miles).
Maybe the long suffering council tax payers of Edinburgh will think that £776m is worth being able to get a tram from EDI to the city centre and zoom quietly past the car owners sitting fuming.
Never mind the infinite losses (and the severe dip in profits from nationalised Lothian Buses)

At least at LTN - EDI's LoCo zeitgeist - they have built a dual carriageway in and out of the airport - oh - and they don't have the Royal Highland Show - oh- and they do have a (sort of ) train station.
