@networkrail.bsky.social Just entered Edinburgh Waverley station via Calton Road steps and again someone at top of steps smoking - by the no smoking sign. He had OCS uniform on

Just walked down Leith Street and across Picardy Place. As someone who's also a cyclist its shocking how many cyclists ran red lights, including one woman weaving through a large crowd of pedestrians who had right of way.

Somewhat ironic... The original Covid was called the China flu by the Donald, the latest version is commonly called the American Covid.

@networkrail.bsky.social Again, 05:23 this morning, Calton Road entrance at Waverley, top of the steps by the no smoking signs. A male smoking - I actually challenged him this morning, which I don't think he was expecting.

Oh here's another pet peeve... Its quarter past 3, school is about to come out and under all these cars are school marking to indicate no parking. @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social

4.5 hours later and the red Merc is still here, albeit a few meters back

Ir's almost like the double yellows don't exist...

@networkrail.bsky.social Your staff need to enforce the no smoking in Edinburgh Waverley Station. Twice this week I've entered via Calton Road steps, and at the top of the steps (where there are TWO no smoking signs) I've seen various station based staff smoking!

Well that was fun. Just blinded by a taxi driver who thinks that traffic lights change if you flash at them.

Even on a Saturday. Two of them.

Different car. Same issue.

Just walking down Leith Walk. The number of cyclists riding the wrong way - I'm surprised I haven't heard about an accident yet.

As usual....

Not just one, but two cars parked on the double yellows at Marionville Road today! @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social

@networkrailscot.bsky.social That's twice today I've used the Calton Road entrance at Waverley Station, and twice there's been smokers at the top of the stairs - next to the sign that says "no smoking"!

@networkrailscot.bsky.social I presume you've had AI transcribe the Bennochy Road vid? Perhaps the more entertaining mistake... 🤣

You do have to wonder about some people - despite all the signs and barriers on Restalrig Road i've just watched this red Ford mount the pavement to access the closed area, to realise that the road is blocked, before mounting the other pavement to get out again - this is him coming out.

If I got a pound for every time I saw someone on the double yellows here, I would probably be rich (almost)

I think i've discovered invisibilty. Just been up town and the number of people who almost walked into me..... Perhaps not helped by a general inability of anyone to walk in a straight line and a loack of situational awareness.

If you think we've got a problem in cities with gulls, there's currently a woman feeding them at Leith!

And also the regular spot at the west end of Marionville Road...

Again, do people not know what double yellow lines mean? Both the white & silver car on them when there's space past the blue car. @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social

The Outer Hebrides

aawww.... look at them all getting together to keep warm 😆

Unexpectedly Calton Road in Edinburgh is being renamed in honour of one of the Fresh Price of Bel Air characters 🤣

A missed opportunity @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social ? What is a very wide Restalrig Road with relatively narrow pavements - could have changed the layout a wee bit here to make it more pedestrian & community friendly rather than continuing making it a busy though road???

Just watched an older guy park on double yellows and now hes walked down the street past a couple of valid parking spaces..... @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social

Common parking spot this one. On the double yellows. @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social

Quelle surprise, another day another double yellow parker here.. @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social

Another day another person who doesn't know that double yellows are there for a reason @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social

Another double yellow parker....theres a space two cars in front of where he parked. @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social

Not just one on double yellows today but THREE! @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social

Anyine know what double yellow lines mean?

One car driver who doesn't know what a yellow box is....

People who double park! Especially as there's a space just a few meters away

Oh, just some random van emptying part of his contents into the bins intended for the Brand Place residents....

This evening's view from the office

Another day, more inconsiderate parking - the van on the left can't get through (there is another parked van behind the one ahead - double parked!)

Yes, just double park why don't you....

And taxi drivers wonder why they get slagged off - this one has just done a U turn on Leith Walk (note the no U turn sign), obstructing both a tram and a bus in the process.

I presume this is @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social led project in Restalrig? Every bay is pale blue - was there no design thought as every block being white & blue just repeats the design blandness of the past - why not some blocks with pale orange, yellow or green???

#Bastille

Something french for #FingerpostFriday

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard....

Shall we just call this a Commune of Voi bikes?

Breek 🤔

The conductor on this train has just announced Breich as Breek...

There's normally room for TWO cars to park in this space....
