Edinburgh morning traffic query
« on: April 17, 2006, 12:12:06 AM »
Got a question and wondering if anyone can help.

I need to be at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary on Friday at 8am!!

I'll be coming in from Fife, so my question:

Is one hour is enough time from the Fife end of the Bridge to the Shariffhall roundabout?

Arghhh I haven't been in rushhour traffic for years...


Still tired of coteries and bans. But hanging about anyway.

It's difficult to say.   I'd be tempted to allow closer to 2 hours.    The bridge queue is terrible, and then the Bypass is terrible as well... although you'll be going against the traffic when on the bypass, and it will be just that wee bit before the main rush of people trying to get somewhere for 9.

I'd think it would take more than 1 hour, but probably less than 2...

Don't forget cash - the parking is hella expensive there.

They're crap!  £10/day.

I think Ninewells is £12.50

And at that price you'd think you could have a space that actually allows you to open the door fully!

I believe they are not meant to make a profit. So if they aren't making a profit, then that must be some rate for the maintenance team.
