Now we understand.

Leithers might be forgiven for wondering why the Tram information sign at the Foot of the Walk has been left lying around in various poses over the last few weeks. Perhaps it's because no-one knows whether it's worth reinstalling it or not.

You can't fail to have missed the recent news stories that suggest we may not see a tram in Leith for some years yet. Take your pick from:

• The Herald
• The Scotsman
• The Guardian
• The BBC
• And lots of others...
