Salmond makes first noises about scrapping Edinburgh trams...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/6695207.stm
At the bottom of the article: The briefing at Bute House in Edinburgh also saw a hint from Mr Salmond that the proposed Edinburgh tram system and airport rail link could be far more expensive than expected. The SNP's manifesto pledged to redirect the £1.1bn of spending planned for these projects. Mr Salmond said: "We are gathering together all the relevant information and will be making a presentation to parliament. "There is a significant amount of information which will be new to the parliament in terms of how much money would be spent. "It would not be the first construction project in the world to run over budget." This issue/pledge is the one I am judging Salmond on. Hope he and the SNP don't let me down.
