Trams are an appealing alternative for Edinburgh’s commuters, travelling into and around the city, and their introduction is only a few years away! It is planned that world class modern trams will be running along Edinburgh’s streets from 2011. Edinburgh is a vibrant and cosmopolitan capital city that demands the best public transport choices. Many cities across the globe such as Dublin, Melbourne and, just recently, Paris are realising the benefits of introducing modern, fast and reliable trams.

Within this section you will be able to catch up on some background information, get the latest news, find out why trams are the best way forward for Edinburgh and read about all the benefits that we will all soon start to enjoy.

You will also be able to find out more about the programme of works for trams.
