Edinburgh Tram
Edinburgh Tram
Following the successful test runs of the Edinburgh Tram between The Gyle Centre and The Airport, the full system is now into test. Trams are now running through the City Centre to allow pedestrians and drivers to become familiar with them prior to brining the system into service.
While visiting Edinburgh yesterday to get some photo’s of the new Stagecoach 43, I was fortunate to notice the trams in the City Centre and I managed to get a selection of photos. Prior to uploading to Flickr I have added a couple of shots below one of 267 running between York Place and St Andrew Square and the other of 266 at York Place (terminus) where the driver has just changed direction of travel.

Have used the trams in Dublin and Nottingham (unfortunately, never in the other towns/cities that have them - apart from several European cities) so it would be good to compare.

A few photos I took of the Trams Yesterday, I have to say they look fantastic, hopefully next time I go to Edinburgh i'll use them then.

Salmond orders inquiry into tram scheme.
Edinburgh Evening News ran an article last night comparing the Tram against the Airlink 100 bus. They looked at price, speed, wifi, luggage space and overall quality.
Two reporters then entered in to a race from The Airport to The City to test The Tram against The 100 Bus. Details below:
