That almost makes up for the over-spends on the Edinburgh trams, and the Scottish Parliament!

(Speaking as an Edinburgh bloke who lived through the significant disruption down Leith Walk for a tramline that was never built; I'm not bitter. Though nowadays I live abroad. In a city with multiple tram-lines.)
