    Before we get too busy to say it, a hat-tip from the team here to everyone who's working hard to keep the rest of us on the move today. Bus and train drivers, engineers, gritting crews, first responders, emergency crews...oh, and all the Twitter peeps doing travel news :)

    The Queen's coffin will leave St Giles' Cathedral at 4.30pm on Tuesday 13 September and travel to Edinburgh airport. The route will be Johnston Terrace - Castle Terrace - Lothian Road - Queensferry Street - Queensferry Road - Maybury Road - Turnhouse Road. #edintravel 1/3

    As Operation Unicorn draws to a close, work is underway to return Edinburgh to a degree of normality and roads will be reopened over the next 24-36hrs. It's been a privilege to have played a small part in the events of the last few days. Back to ๐Ÿšง and ๐Ÿšฆ tomorrow I think... ^J

    Morning everyone. Apologies for late start. We've not made it to the control room yet so tweets from home for the time being. Will collate as much info as we can find and bring you up to speed ASAP. Best advice - don't travel! #edintravel ^J

    Today, the #Edintravel team are juggling a pregnancy, a partner in hospital, kids off school and very little public transport! Weโ€™ll be online all day and will keep you updated as best we can but probably wonโ€™t get to the control room for a while...
