IIRC Lothian Buses went through this whole buggies-in-wheelchair-spaces conflict several - maybe ten or more - years ago. The final upshot was that bus layouts were changed to provide two spaces on the bottom deck* (and thus fewer actual seats). I don't believe any legal argument was involved...

I did. Thank you for the correction. Post amended accordingly.

Maybe they got the idea from Network Rail getting lots of permanent way maintenance done while Glasgow Queen Street Central was closed after the vape shop fire.

If (very heavily emphasised "if") the allegations about one or both of the defendants made on a rather bizarrely constructed web site - which I believe has been referenced on this thread in the past - are to be believed then it would not be first time that greed has been a motivation for the...

The level crossing doesn't even appear on the OS 6 inch map surveyed in 1960* so presumably it and the forestry road post-date even that fairly recent update. The 6 inch map does show a footpath - possibly the route of the old drover's path - heading up Station Hill, but it shows it starting at...

See Bus1029UK's post earlier. The fact that the logo is present on the rear of the new bus would seem to suggest that it's still intended to be used.

That pretty much tallies with the history of the station in Railscot (which I cannot quote here as they are very protective of their copyright).

One of my nephews is an officer with the Thames Valley Police. A couple of years ago he told me about a call-out to an up-market restaurant where a diner had refused to pay for his meal, and became abusive to the staff. Said individual refused to accompany the attending officers to the police...

That is the often repeated explanation, but the consensus in physics and engineering circles is somewhat different these days, particularly taking into account that the oscillation was not at one of the structure's resonant frequencies. "Wind-driven amplification of self-induced torsional...

You could take a photo of your ticket on your phone (assuming you are carrying one) ASAP after it being issued. Whether they would be obliged to accept the photo as proof of...well, anything, really...is another matter, of course, but it might go some way to strengthening your case. Especially...

Sounds like the training might not have been particularly effective given that:

That line does not refer to a mortal king, it's from the Hallelujah Chorus of Handel's Messiah, and refers to Christ (or maybe God - but then again they're both part of the same triumvirate). Apparently it's a quote from the book of Revelation.

Not the case on Lothian buses, which have a flat fare structure. I assume* you still have to state your destination on Lothian Country or East Coast Buses services. Which makes we wonder: does Lothian Buses get reimbursed for every journey on an NEC card within a given day, or is there a sort...

That was on-road running (map screenshot from https://maps.nls.uk/view/82877163): Which isn't to say that a similar solution wouldn't be chosen for the new trams. From the Trinity Road junction westwards the new trams could use some of the solum of the old Edinburgh, Leith and Granton...

Just like post #6 on this very thread, you mean?
