The Story So Far
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.
The construction of Edinburgh Trams is well underway on the streets of Edinburgh and they will be operational in 2012.
This section gives an overview of the history of the Edinburgh Trams project, with useful links to key documents.
