Episode Details

Alex Cole-Hamilton, Scottish Lib Dem leader, prioritizes Edinburghs bus network over the North-South tram extension, citing budget constraints. He leaves the tram decision to the Lib Dem council group. Meanwhile, the SNPs manifesto supports a feasibility study for reopening the South Suburban rail line, ruling out the Roseburn Path for new trams. Cole-Hamilton emphasizes the Lib Dems bottom-up approach, not blocking a South Suburban study if it reaches the Scottish Parliament. Lib Dem transport spokesman Kevin Lang supports the tram idea in principle but demands transparency on costs and community support before proceeding. The council navigates these transport debates ahead of the elections, balancing ambition with practicality.
