The City of Edinburgh Council approved the outline business case for taking Edinburgh Trams to Leith and Newhaven in November last year. Early plans have now been developed for how and when the new tramline would be built, should the project be approved by Council in Summer/Autumn this year. The proposed new line will run for 4.69 km (2.91 miles), connecting Leith and Newhaven to the current end of the Edinburgh tram line at York Place. The look and feel of the stops, overhead lines and general design principles will be similar to those used in the current line.
A dedicated website with details of the project timeline, tram route and stops together with landscape and traffic management proposals has been set up.
A number of public information events are being held in April which we encourage you to attend:
- Tuesday 3 April: McDonald Road Library, 10am–4pm
- Thursday 12 April: Leith Community Education Centre, 3–9pm
- Saturday 21 April: Ocean Terminal, 12–5pm.
Please note that the Public consultation will end on 29 April 2018 – make sure you have your say!
