An image of a tram on Princes Street

The City of Edinburgh Council have announced that Princes Street is due to reopen on Saturday 29 August.

Subject to final testing, tram services are scheduled to resume full-route running between Edinburgh Airport and Newhaven, and bus diversions are expected to be lifted.

Further information will be made available in due course.

Customers are encouraged to continue checking the latest service updates on our websites, the Bus & Tram app and social media channels, and are advised to allow extra time for travel while services are being reinstated across our network.

We would like to thank our customers for their patience, understanding and support throughout this period of disruption. We are also grateful to our colleagues whose professionalism, flexibility and commitment have continued to keep Edinburgh moving during this particularly challenging time.
