Our Story
A tram network operated in Edinburgh until 1956. Since then our award-winning bus operator, Lothian Buses, has been the backbone of Edinburgh's transport system. Together, the City of Edinburgh Council and the Scottish Government realised the benefits of providing an integrated transport solution using trams and buses to cater for the future needs of Scotland's capital city.
This section gives an overview of the history of the Edinburgh Trams project.
