This story is accurate and up to date as of 15:00hrs on Thursday 9 July.

Due to an ongoing incident and road closure by emergency services on Princes Street, tram services are currently unable to serve Princes Street – Newhaven and will continue to operate a part route service between Edinburgh Airport – West End for the remainder of today (Thursday 9 July).

Tram stops between Princes Street – Newhaven will be closed until further notice as emergency services continue to monitor the situation. 

The safety of our customers and colleagues is of the upmost importance. Whilst our operational team assess the tramline, full service will not resume until it is safe for us to do so.

Ticket acceptance is currently in place with ScotRail between Edinburgh Gateway and Edinburgh Waverley and on Lothian Buses services between West End and Newhaven.

Follow the Edinburgh Trams X page for regular updates, check the Bus & Tram App or the Edinburgh Trams website for service updates before travelling.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to your journey. We will continue to monitor the situation and keep customers updated.
