A Range Rover parked on a tram line in Edinburgh caused major delays for public transport, leaving commuters frustrated and services disrupted.
Edinburgh: A Range Rover caused a real mess. It parked right on a tram line, stopping everything in its tracks. Trams were stuck, and buses had to change routes.
People were not happy. One local said it blocked Leith Walk for half an hour. Traffic was backed up all the way. It was a frustrating scene for everyone trying to get around.
Edinburgh Trams confirmed the issue on social media. They said trams were only running between the airport and Balfour Street. A spokesperson explained the situation clearly.
Lothian Buses also had to divert their routes. They couldn’t serve Leith Walk and Duke Street. Instead, they took a longer way around until things got sorted out.
This all happened around 11:45 am on a Friday. People took to social media to vent their frustrations. One guy even joked about fitting trams with bull bars to push cars out of the way.
It’s a reminder to everyone about the importance of parking properly. A little consideration can go a long way in keeping the city moving.
