Letter: Ad-driven
At Princes Street stops, double decker buses quickly form a massive continuous billboard, which cuts out the marvellous view of Edinburgh Castle. Instead we must scan "appeals" by the "Space Chimps" "'Tooth Fairy", "Summer Postcode Rollover", "Rocky Horror Show" and "Robin Hood".
Meantime, at the foot of the Mound, the sparkling new, four-section tram stands pristine and waiting to go. Could the appropriate authorities please let us know their costed plans? Simple, attractive design or Ad Man's Dream?
