Date: 2017-10-02 08:20 pm (UTC)There's a limit to how many trams can run through the city centre when it's busy, push more trams in there and they just stack up and grind to a halt.
As for the idea of expanding housing etc. in the Edinburgh Park and Gyle area area, dealing with commuting from there is easy, just run more bus services. They can even serve commuters who don't live right next to the tram line.

Date: 2017-10-03 10:16 am (UTC)I fear the geography is a bit against us. Having two big hills in the middle of your city is awkward at times.
