“Only tourists benefit. The line runs from Ocean Terminal to Edinburgh Airport. I don’t see any commuter benefit in that… I don’t think it adds any value to Edinburgh. But maybe it will end up being of benefit in the long term. With all this expenditure, who knows?” (You and Yours, article about disruption caused by Edinburgh tram works, BBC Radio 4, March 2009)

The Arrival
by Jonathan Shupe
I see you standing there
waiting for your love
In the breeze you look so fair
like the sun so high above
In your eyes, too strong to weep
to see nothing’s arrived
In your heart your tears did seep
from emotion that you’ve thrived
Of your pain met the covered sky
as rain, began to fall from sleep
There you gave your final sigh
Then for you, nature did weep
With your back to the clouds,
you started your walk
and followed your lonely road
As your foot hit the ground, you started to talk
to the person that never showed
Every word you pressed to speak
to you he did not reply
Again of him your ears do seek
no sound to hear, but a cry
to you that is so near
Can only be so far away, so far away as the sky
