Rant for the day I have to travel to Kirkliston on Saturday from East Lothian. There is an Edinburgh CrossRail service from Newcraighall which goes on to Bathgate. But does it stop anywhere near Kirkliston? Of course not. So, it looks as if I shall have to take the car.

Take note, Edinburgh City Council. You say that you want people to leave their cars at home, that you want to reduce congestion. But you do not make transport services available. I see on maps a place called Ratho Station, but if I search the rail network, it claims to be 'not found'. If you want people to leave their cars at home, then put pressure on the rail operators to stop where it would help.

Or, if you are particularly mean, just tax drivers for driving into the city.
