Overview

We have been working on developing a business case to expand the tram network in Edinburgh.

With a west to east route, from the Airport to Newhaven, now successfully running, we are proposing a north to south route.

The route would run from Granton, through the city centre, out to the Edinburgh BioQuarter and Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh via Cameron Toll, and potentially beyond into the city region.

Your feedback will help us develop the next stage of the project which is the Strategic Business Case for a new tram line.

Your feedback, along with findings from technical work, will contribute to decisions on how the project should progress.
