No. 4 is Edinburgh, at the end of York Place, where the trams stop and gaze wistfully down Leith Walk.

It is indeed the end of York Place.   I'm not so sure about trams gazing wistfully though - source?   Wink

IIRC▸ ('if I recall/remember/read correctly') the original plan was to go down to Leith docks.  It proved to be just too expensive.   They only built about 60% of the originally intended system.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.
