Edinburgh has a fleet of 27 modern and 100% wheelchair accessible trams built by Spanish manufacturer CAF.
We want to make travel on our trams as easy as possible for everyone.
Tram stops accessed via gently sloping ramps or lifts make getting to the platform straightforward. And every one of our modern, low-floored trams is 100% wheelchair accessible.

Priority customersWe are trialling a new initiative to help customers who have difficulty standing to find a seat for their journey. The priority pin badges have been introduced to help customers communicate their needs and are supported by new improved on board signage. The badge does not guarantee a seat will be made available but it can help avoid any awkward conversations. A badge can be requested by contacting us through Customer Services or on social media. |
