Read that yesterday Campbell.

Great idea that I've seen working in other cities on the continent. Edinburgh one ultimately let down by poor construction and design.
Must've cost a packet to build too.

I used it a few times when I went to visit Scottish Widows for work.

Always thought it quite cool how you drove the car into the little garage thing forwards, then when you went to collect your car it had turned it around for you :-)

It's the simple things in life....

Still can't believe I missed this thing altogether. Never mind. Should be able to enjoy driverless cars, if not driverless parking :-)
