@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!

I have to take issue with one line here "Since nationalisation, costs have consistently exceeded ticket sales..." I think you'll find that ScotRail has always needed subsidy from the taxpayer, even when it was a franchise under First Group, Abellio, National Express... or even as part of BR!!

I thought it was only the legen-dairy cows that had portraits?

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... 🤣

Nessie @amdme.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
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)

Nessie @amdme.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
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...

Nessie @amdme.bsky.social · 23/06/2026
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

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

Nessie @amdme.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
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???

Nessie @amdme.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
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

Nessie @amdme.bsky.social · 20/05/2026
Common parking spot this one. On the double yellows. @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social

I see too many cyclists (usually Deliveroo) cycling the wrong way along the cycle lanes.

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

Specifically the photographer is on Temperance Street looking at the Fairfield Street bridge on the eastern approach to Piccadilly station.

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

Nessie @amdme.bsky.social · 14/04/2026
Careful, he might eat the crayons

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

No. HS2 is the best way of opening up the rail network. The WCML is full, the ECML is also full - believe it or not because freight got moved from the WCML. Theres 2 ways forward upgrade WCML or HS2 and any WCML upgrade to create as much capacity as HS2 will also cost billions, but fewer benefits.

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....

Nessie @amdme.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
People who double park! Especially as there's a space just a few meters away

Nessie @amdme.bsky.social · 24/03/2026
Oh, just some random van emptying part of his contents into the bins intended for the Brand Place residents....

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!)

Nessie @amdme.bsky.social · 05/03/2026
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.
