A Range Rover blocking tram tracks in Edinburgh caused significant delays and diversions for commuters today
This happened around 11:45 AM. The car sat on the tracks for over half an hour. Trams were only running between Edinburgh Airport and Balfour Street.
Lothian Buses had to divert their routes too. They redirected buses away from Leith Walk and Duke Street. Passengers were sent via London Road and Easter Road instead.
One local shared their frustration, saying, “Leith Walk has been blocked for half an hour now because someone can’t park.” Traffic was backed up all the way.
Edinburgh Trams confirmed the situation on social media. They mentioned the ticket acceptance with Lothian Buses due to the disruption.
It’s a reminder to everyone to park responsibly. Let’s hope this doesn’t happen again anytime soon!
