Episode Details

Princes Street’s iconic Debenhams site is still smoldering in aftermath — with closures rippling through Rose Street and beyond as trams sit idle for nearly a month. While the luxury hotel at 100 Princes Street reopened swiftly after an evacuation, Boots’ return and crane deployments signal progress on facade repairs, expected to take three weeks by hand. Trams can’t be rerouted safely — not even by towing — leaving Lothian Buses scrambling amid citywide traffic chaos. The Scottish Government faces mounting pressure for slower response compared to Glasgow’s aid, though officials vow to meet with council leaders this week to offer financial support and explore emergency bus routes — including a potential mobility-friendly stop on Princes Street.
