Tram trouble

Another day, another government project late and over budget:

Councillors in Edinburgh have decided to carry on with the city's troubled trams project - but will have to find another £200m to fund it.
...
A majority backed a Liberal Democrat motion to fund the line as far as St Andrew Square at a cost of £770m.

The original estimated cost of the line from Edinburgh Airport to Newhaven was put at £545m.
...
An alternative to scrap the project completely was considered but this would have cost up to £750m.

It would seem that they are stepped in so far that should they wade no more, returning were as tedious as go o’er.
