They're running out of time to meet the promised deadline of the end of February for the restoration of our bus-tracker at  Albert Place.  You'd think that after all this time (somewhere between 3 and 4 years) they could spare a man with a shovel and a screwdriver for a few hours from the teams currently tearing up York Place for the umpteenth time, relaying George Street, footering about along the entire length of Princes Street and laying waste yet again the Princes St., Shandwick Place, Queensferry St. junction.

But no; the reserves are in training for the promised tearing up of the east end starting Saturday.  That's the sort of promise they are able to keep.
