When Edinburgh welcomes King Charles III later this week, the city’s acclaimed tram system will play a vital role in helping local residents and tourists make the most of the historic Royal visit.
On Wednesday, June 5, members of the public are being urged to gather on the Royal Mile to mark the Coronation of the monarch, and with trams from every seven minutes across the city centre, getting to and from the royal events couldn’t be easier.
Lea Harrison, the operator’s Managing Director, commented:
As thousands of people flock to Edinburgh to greet The King and Queen, we’re all set to keep the city moving by delivering a premium, customer-focussed transport service.
With roads around the city expected to be extremely busy and limited parking in town, we advise customers to leave their cars at Ingliston Park & Ride, which has plenty of spaces available plus a tram stop a short distance away.
As well as offering unrivalled convenience, those travelling together can take advantage of a wide range of money-saving tram ticket deals and further details can be found here.
Following a ‘People’s procession’ which will depart from Edinburgh Castle towards St Giles’ Cathedral, His Majesty and other dignities will attend a National Service of Thanksgiving. More information can be found here.
