Edinburgh tram mock-up

Have you visited our great capital city recently? If it resembles something like a building site, that's because it is. And there are fears that it could go on looking like this over Christmas and New Year if the over Edinburgh's tram network isn't resolved soon. Just imagine how that would affect the annual Hogmanay celebrations.

The project's costing the taxpayer around half a billion pounds and there are that the tramworks could now be £100m over budget.

It's all rather reminiscent of that other great Edinburgh construction project. Remember the ?

The SNP government has always been against the network. So, as we were discussing on today's Morning Extra, is it now time to pull the plug before any more taxpayer's money is wasted? Are there other transport projects in Scotland which you think should be given greater priority? Or is it important to complete what is an essential improvement to our capital city's infrastructure?
