Not been commuting by bike since Jan but just about getting back to it.

Anyone know the state of a few couple of bits of routes I use that are in and around tram works? In particular:

– Russell Road (going from Roseburn to Gorgie, rather than onto cyclepath)

– The bit of the Water of Leith Walkway beside Murrayfield Park where if goes under the railway and appears on Balgreen Road

– Access to the old railway path from Balgreen Road heading to Pinkhill

– The path through the Gyle that links the bypass underpass and emerges near HSBC that crosses the tram route

Cheers!

seems to answer Q1

The bit of the Water of Leith Walkway beside Murrayfield Park where if goes under the railway and appears on Balgreen Road

It has a diversion onto the road to the skatepark still.

– Russell Road (going from Roseburn to Gorgie, rather than onto cyclepath)

Blocked to cars but there is a channel for cyclists and peds. Be careful though, couple of blind bends!

Al – that’s just roads, was more interested in paths really. But it has reminded me that Gillespie Road is closed.

TBC – cheers.

Oh, and the bit of the Water of Leith path just after Spylaw tunnel heading into town – is that still a manky swampy mess?

That bit was all resurfaced. Last time I was along there it was no longer that “soot in suspension” stuff.
