Photo of the Day: Euskotren Tranbia
As well as the Metro and an excellent bus system –Bilbobus– Bilbao also has a small tram system. Running CAF built Urbos 1 Light Rail vehicles, the route covers different sections of the city to the faster and longer reaching Metro, offering a highly visible distributor from a couple of Metro stations it connects with to important destinations like the Guggenheim Museum.…
Photo of the Day: Bilbao Metro
The Norman Foster designed Bilbao Metro is elegant and efficient. Not an easy business fitting metro access points into a old city, and the somewhat zoomorphic street entrances are about as discrete and unfussy as possible while remaining unapologetically contemporary and not without wit.…

Photo of the Day: Morningside Art
Some of the neat graffiti artwork on display near the Morningside Train Station. There’s some other good works around the rail network too but always room for more. And can just be seen from in this shot taken from the platform.…
Photo of the day – Ivy
