Episode Details

Princes Street in Edinburgh remains shut down five days after a devastating fire at the old Debenhams building, causing massive traffic chaos as fifty bus routes are rerouted and trams operate on a limited route. With investigations ongoing, the council can’t promise a reopening date but is working to minimize delays. Public transport advocates are sounding the alarm, urging emergency measures like bus-only lanes on George Street and nighttime-only delivery zones to keep buses moving. They stress that buses are vital for city mobility during this crisis, while the council acknowledges the pressure but insists transport policy can’t be sidelined as they strive to keep the city running.
